Gettin' What You Want (Losin' What You Got) |
You’re always looking, you’re always on the roam |
When you can’t take care of what you got at home |
Women in the streets are looking good to you |
But don’t you know your woman is looking good to somebody, too? |
Yeah, don’t you know what you’re doin' |
Gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got |
You’re gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got, yeah |
You think nobody wants her, that’s where you’re wrong |
Your best friend was over last night, while you were gone |
You’ve never take her out, you never have the time |
'Cause you’re too busy chasin' other women and spending every dime |
Don’t you know what you’re doin', yeah |
Gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got |
You’re gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got |
Whatcha think your woman’s doing when you stay out all night? |
I guess you think she’s sleepin', but she''s gettin' her thing uptight |
You’re never satisfied, always lookin' for something new |
Oh, but while you’re out there lookin' |
Somebody’s gettin' to you, you see |
You’re gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got |
You’re gettin' what you want, yeah, but you’re losin' what you got |
And some of your fellows out there, you’d better listen to me right now (You're |
gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got) |
Said, if you’ve got a good woman, you’d better go home and check on your love |
bone (You're gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got) |
'Cause the love’s in the streets, ain’t gonna be as good as the love you got at |
home (You're gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got) |
You’re gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got |
You’re gettin' what you want, yeah, but you’re losin' what you got |
And if you think nobody wants your woman, but you, just keep on hangin' on the |
corner with the fellas (You're gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what |
you got) |
You’re gettin' what you want, but you’re losin' what you got |
You’re gettin' what you want, yeah, but you’re losin' what you got |
