Never Really Wanted
Unrequited Desires: The Allure I Never Pursued
Lyrics
There she goes
Describing the departure of a woman.
Little black dress on
Illustrating the attire of the woman in a black dress.
Standing with the other girls
She's among other girls, visually distinct in elegance.
Wearing velvet and pearls looking so fine, so fin
Highlighting her exquisite appearance.
All the times that she tried to catch my eye
Recalling instances when she tried to gain attention.
Now I hear that she's crushing on another guy
Learning she's interested in someone else.
Why do we always want what we can't have?
Reflecting on the tendency to desire the unattainable.
I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
Expressing a lack of initial interest in the woman.
I never really wanted, wanted her in my world
Reiterating the lack of desire to include her in his life.
I never really wanted that girl, oh but now I do, yeah.
Contradicting previous disinterest, now showing interest.
Never noticed how
Realizing unnoticed aspects of a woman's expressions.
A woman's eyes can dance
Observing the captivating nature of a woman's eyes.
But from the outside in looks like they're dancin' for him
External appearance suggests she's captivated by someone else.
Leaves me wondering, wondering
Leaves him curious about her intentions.
Why is it now I see her in a different light
Perceiving her differently now, possibly romantically.
If I could turn back time I would tonight
Regretting not recognizing this earlier.
Why do we always want what we can't have
Questioning the desire for the unattainable.
I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
Reiterating the lack of initial interest in the woman.
I never really wanted, wanted her in my world
Reemphasizing the absence of wanting her in his life.
I never really wanted that girl, oh but now I do, oh yeah
Acknowledging a newfound interest in her.
You better get that girl while the gettin's good
Advising to pursue her before someone else does.
There's list of fools who wish they could
Implying others desire her too.
Why do we always want what we can't have?
Reiterating the theme of desiring the unattainable.
Oh, I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
Reiterating the lack of initial interest in the woman.
I never really wanted, wanted her in my world
Restating the absence of desire to include her in his life.
I never really wanted that girl, oh but now I do, oh yeah
Expressing a newfound interest in her.
I never really wanted, never really wanted that girl
Reiterating the lack of initial interest in the woman.
I never really wanted, wanted her in my world
Reiterating the absence of wanting her in his life.
I never really wanted that girl, oh but now I do
Confirming the change in desire towards her.
