Reachin' for Something I Can't Have

Got me reachin' reachin' You've got me reachin' reachin' (Got me) reachin' for something I can't have Though it may cause me pain Needing, his a-love so much, till only hurt remains Standing high on society hill A voice calls up to me From a boy I love, and need so much He says he's not for me Cause I live up, and he lives down On the poor side of town But still I'm reachin' reachin' I can't help reachin' reachin' Cause he tells me he has nothing And his place is not with me His pride keeps him away But still I love him more each day So I'll keep reachin' for something I can't have Though it may cause me pain Needing, his a-love so much, till only hurt remains He says he cannot give me All the things a rich man can Stay on your hill, and don't look down Forget our love began And even though, he loves me so He must let me go But still I'm reachin' reachin' I can't help reachin' reachin' For a boy who cannot give me Nothin' but his love But he's everything I need And I've go to make him see So I'll keep reachin' for something I can't have Though it may cause me pain Needing, his a-love so much, till only hurt remains Oh I need him, and I want him And I don't care, if he has nothing Just to have him close to me That is all I ever need
