Just Out of Reach

I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine You keep it just out of reach She arrives all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Oh but soon, soon the tears will swell Makin' it here seems such a cinch But soon she'll smell the stench Of the gutter-dwellers, them pretty fellows I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine I sit alone and wonder why Sweet love just pass me by Is there someone out there who wants to try I'll protect you, girl I never will neglect you Just slip on this ring and I will make your heart sing, my love I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time You keep it just out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine I want a love that's mine all mine But you keep it out of reach I want a love that's mine all mine But you keep it out of reach
