The Marvelettes - Reachin' for Something I Can't Have lyrics

(Got me reachin', reachin', you got me reachin', reachin') Reachin' for somethin' I can't have, though it may cause me pain Needing his love so much till only hurt remains Standing high on society hill, a voice calls out to me From a boy I love & need so much, he says he's not for me 'Cause I live up & 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 nothin' & 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 somethin' I can't have, though it may cause me pain Needing his love so much till only hurt remains He says he cannot give me all the things a rich man can "Stay on your hill & don't look down; forget our love began" & 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 & I've got to make him see So I'll keep... Reachin' for somethin' I can't have, though it may cause me pain Needing his love so much till only hurt remains I need him & I want him & I don't care if he has nothing Just to have him close to me, that's all I ever need
