Everything I Can't Have
Yearning for More: Robin Thicke's Unattainable Desires
Lyrics
I want a fresh girl
I desire a new and exciting romantic partner.
I wanna drink my drink
I want to enjoy my preferred beverage.
I wanna get high
I desire to experience a state of euphoria or intoxication.
I can't have everything
Realization that it's impossible to have everything one desires.
I wanna be rich
I aspire to be wealthy.
Never work at all
Desire to avoid work entirely.
And sleep all day
Wishing to indulge in extended periods of sleep.
And I wanna see it all
Expressing the desire to witness and experience everything.
Oh I want, I want everything
An overarching desire for all-encompassing fulfillment.
I want everything I can't have
Reiteration of the impossibility of having everything desired.
When the brandy hits my throat I go
Reference to the effect of brandy on the speaker's throat.
When I see the girls those girls they make me go
Attraction and excitement induced by the presence of certain girls.
When I get a taste a taste I lose control
Losing control when experiencing a particular taste.
And when that brandy hits my throat I go
Reiteration of the impact of brandy on the speaker.
I want a fresh girl
Repetition of the desire for a new romantic partner.
From Dominica
Expressing a desire for a romantic partner from Dominica.
Maybe from Puerto Rico
Expanding the desire to include a partner from Puerto Rico.
From Columbia
Further extending the desire to include a partner from Columbia.
Breakfast lunch and dinner
Expressing a constant desire for meals throughout the day.
I want it all the time
Expressing a perpetual desire for the mentioned desires.
Yo te quiero mucho
Spanish expression of love - "I love you very much."
Yo hablo espanol
Declaration of the ability to speak Spanish.
Oh I want, I want everything
Reiteration of the overarching desire for fulfillment.
I want everything I can't have
Reiteration of the impossibility of having everything desired.
I want a house and kids
Expressing the desire for a family, a home, and children.
A big family
Desire for a large family.
I want so many women
Expressing the desire for multiple romantic relationships.
I can't have everything
Reiteration of the impossibility of having everything desired.
