Lyrics Always Wanting You (Rerecorded) - Merle Haggard

Always wanting you
But never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow
′Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again

Always loving you
But never touching you
Sometimes hurts me
Almost more than I can stand

I′d been better off if I'd turned away
And never looked at you a second time
'Cause I really had my life all together
Till your eyes met mine

And there I saw a yearning and a feeling ′cross the room that you felt for me
Wish I′d had a way of knowing
The things we had in mind
Could never be

Always wanting you
But never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I know I′ll wake up wanting you again

Always loving you
But never touching you
Sometimes hurts me
Almost more than I can stand

Always wanting you
But never having you
Sometimes hurts me
Almost more than I can stand
