Well, I guess if I had to admit it In my life, I've done okay Whenever they told me that I couldn't get something I went out and found me a way But with you, it's a different story, baby You just won't give me a break How am I gonna face all of my friends My whole reputation's at stake You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world But I can't get my hands on you Oh, I can't do it, baby No, no, no Can't get a hand on you
