Never Had It

{*skatting "ba ba-da bahh" starts 0:13 continues 'til 0:27*} [Verse One] I see you sit and swallow pain For all of those who will not speak You raise your voice, you fill the stage Your eyes are wide, you know the weakness That you've felt is not just yours So many more, you're not alone The songs you sing are not your own You left the room with somethin real [Hook] You've never had it (you've never had it) Keep on wantin somethin more (keep on wantin somethin more) You've never had it (you've never had it) Keep on wantin somethin more (keep on wantin somethin more) [Verse Two] You've never had it so you hesitate to try and find it You listen carefully for whispers of what lurks behind it You play the corners, never get too close to where it might be Waiting for you; never had it, keep on wantin something more (Keep wanting more... you never had it) (Keep wanting more... you never had it) Keep hiding the hope, and then the pain is not yours No one's holding a rope, you gotta pull it on your own All the songs have been sung, and all the doors have been closed Keep on wanting more (keep on wanting more) {*skatting and ad libs*} [Verse Three] And I watch you wander through these halls You slouch, you shrug, you shrink away And I call you stop, you blink, you pause You wonder who you think the day Will never end and, when it does You wait until the building's dark The doors are locked, you're on the bus You looked inside but did not touch [Hook] [Verse Four] You've never had it but you know how to provide it so you Stand up and call for it nervous describing what you go through You don't wanna get caught up in all the things they say to try to provoke you Don't need anyone to tell you, keep on wanting something more (Keep wanting more... you never had it) (Keep wanting more... you never had it) Keep hiding the hope, and then the pain is not yours No one's holding a rope, you gotta pull it on your own All the songs have been sung, and all the doors have been closed Keep on wanting more (keep on wanting more) {*skatting and guitar solos to end*}
