Текст песни Gettin' What You Want (Losin' What You Got) - William Bell

You're always lookin', you're always on the roam
When you can't take care of what you've got at home
Women in the streets are lookin' good to you
But don't you know your woman is lookin' good to somebody, too?
Yeah
Don't you know watcha doin'?

Gettin' what you want
But you're losin' what you got
You're gettin' what you want
But you're losin' what you got, yeah

You think nobody wants her, but that's where you're wrong
Your best friend was over last night, while you were gone
You never take her out, you never have the time
'Cause you're too busy chasin' other women and spendin' every dime
Don't you know watcha doin'? Yeah

Gettin' what you want
But you're losin' what you got
You're gettin' what you want
But you're losin' what you got

Now whatcha think your woman's doin' when you stay out all night?
I guess you think she's sleepin', but she's gettin' her thing uptight
You're never satisfied, always lookin' for somethin' new
Oh, but while you're out there lookin'
Somebody's gettin' to you, you see

You're gettin' what you want
But you're losin' what you got
You're gettin' what you want, yeah
But you're losin' what you got

And some of your fellows out there (gettin' what you want)
You'd better listen to me right now (losin' what you got)
Said, if you've got a good woman (gettin' what you want)
You'd better go home and check on your love bone (losin' what you got)
'Cause the love's in the streets (gettin' what you want)
Ain't gonna be as good as the love that you got at home (losin' what you got)

Gettin' what you want
But you're losin' what you got
You're gettin' what you want, yeah
But you're losin' what you got (what you got)

And if you think nobody wants your woman (gettin' what you want)
But you just keep on hangin' on the corner with the fellas (losin' what you got)

You're gettin' what you want
But you'll be losin' what you got
You're gettin' what you want, yeah
But you're losin' what you got

Don't you see watcha doin'? (Gettin' what you...)
