paroles de chanson Reachin' for Something I Can't Have - The Marvelettes

Got me reachin' reachin'
You've got me reachin' reachin'

(Got me) reachin' for something I can't have
Though it may cause me pain
Needing, his a-love so much, till only hurt remains

Standing high on society hill
A voice calls up to me
From a boy I love, and need so much
He says he's not for me
Cause I live up, and he lives down
On the poor side of town
But still I'm reachin' reachin'
I can't help reachin' reachin'

Cause he tells me he has nothing
And his place is not with me
His pride keeps him away
But still I love him more each day

So I'll keep reachin' for something I can't have
Though it may cause me pain
Needing, his a-love so much, till only hurt remains

He says he cannot give me
All the things a rich man can
Stay on your hill, and don't look down
Forget our love began
And even though, he loves me so
He must let me go
But still I'm reachin' reachin'
I can't help reachin' reachin'

For a boy who cannot give me
Nothin' but his love
But he's everything I need
And I've go to make him see

So I'll keep reachin' for something I can't have
Though it may cause me pain
Needing, his a-love so much, till only hurt remains

Oh I need him, and I want him
And I don't care, if he has nothing
Just to have him close to me
That is all I ever need
