| 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 |
