The Bottle Rockets - Got What I Wanted lyrics

Used to have a woman loved me hard and slow Why I ever left her I will never know But I saw a pretty baby coming down the line Had to go and make that little girl mine Now I'm feeling so low and sad Cause I got what I wanted But I lost what I had Baby waited tables on the midnight shift Stayed home sleeping while I got ripped I wanted a woman who could run with me Found one that drove me Straight to my knees Now I'm feeling so mean and bad Cause I got what I wanted But I lost what I had So I went looking for someone to tell Ended up down at the Heartbreak Hotel Lobby was filled with men so sad Got what they wanted Lost what they had Dogs see a cat, you know he gotta catch it The moment a man got an itch You know he gotta scratch it And if you're like that boy You better quit Better watch what you're after Cause you just might get it But then you'll be so lonely and sad When you get what you wanted But you lose what you had Now if you got a woman Who stands by your side Don't go and ruin it with the roving eye If you're feeling weak And you were needing help Just keep on reminding yourself That if you get it You're gonna be sad When you get what you wanted But you lose what you had Yeah when you get what you wanted But you lose what you had
