The Man Who Says You Can’t

The Man Who Says You Can’t

you always want what you can’t have
you always take what you don’t need
you always want what you can’t have
and the man who says you can’t
is the only one you see

and for the man who says you can’t
you would make yourself a fool
you would throw away your pride
cast your dignity aside
and surrender all your cool

and every time you learn it
then you’re starting all over
you’re so predictable
why aren’t you ashamed?
we’re getting wise
we’re getting wise to you
we’re getting wise to your game

the man who says you can’t is the one that you’re after
and any chick who thinks she’s staking a claim
better get
better get oh better get out of the way

and for the man who says you must
you’re a cold and callous wall
as for the man who thinks he might
well, if he don’t put up a fight
then he ain’t a man at all

you always want what you can’t have
you always take what you don’t need
you always want what you can’t have
and the man who says you can’t
is the only one you see
