The ache you feel within your heart
As if it must insist
To draw you close, although apart
Would help you to resist
The ever-growing tidal wave
That wells inside your soul
That draws you to the one you love
But that tale must not be told
You can't have him
Even though he's the one you want
You can't have him
They're not feelings that you can flaunt
Gotta keep your cool, keep it all to yourself
You're one to follow rules, put your heart on the shelf
There's no one to blame, his heart's with someone else
So get a handle on it, girl
Cause you can't have him
All you can have is your fantasy
You can't have him
There are reasons from A to Z
Remember what Mama taught when you were young
Keep your feet on the ground, but be sure to have fun
Don't give your heart to a man who already has one
Cause if he does, then my dear
You can't have him
Don't waste your time obsessing
About the way that he makes you feel
It's all inside your head
He's not interested, baby
It's not real
He's not yours to steal
Don't waste your time obsessing
About the way that he makes you feel
It's all inside your head
He's not interested, baby
It's not real
He's not yours to steal
You can't have him
All you can have is your fantasy
You can't have him
There are reasons from A to Z
Remember what Mama taught when you were young
Keep your feet on the ground, but be sure to have fun
Don't give your heart to a man who already has one
Cause if he does, then my dear
You can't have him
