We all want what we ain't got, Our favorite doors are always locked. On a higher hill with a taller top, We all want what we ain't got. We ain't happy where we are, There's greener grass in the neighbors yard. A bigger house and a faster car, We ain't happy where we are. All I want is what I had, I'll trade it all just to get her back. She's moving on, but I guess I'm not We all want what we ain't got We all wish it didn't hurt, When you try your best and it doesn't work. And goodbye's such a painful word, We all wish it didn't hurt. All I want is what I had, I'd trade it all just to get her back. She's moving on, but I guess I'm not. We all want what we ain't got. All I want is what I had, I'd trade it all just to get her back. She's moving on, but I guess I'm not. We all want what we ain't got. I wanted the world until my whole world stopped, You know a love like that ain't easily forgot. I guess we all want what we ain't got. Yeah, we all want what we ain't got.
