I Can't Get It

So many things that mean a lot
 So many things that I never got
 You can look boy but you can't touch
 What I don't have seems to mean so much
 A beat up Chevy or a Mercedes Benz
 Should make no difference in the end
 But I get mad, baby real upset
 'Cos what I want I can never get
 They're just like cattle walkin' down the street
 Some get so fat while others never eat
 I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet
 My mind is blank, I take another drink
 I'm not destroyed but I'm right on the brink
 I sit and count them shot by shot
 The little things that I never got
 Those uptown ladies on 5th Avenue
 It's like I hate 'em but I want 'em too
 I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet
 I don't get it, I don't get it at all
 I don't get it, I don't get it at all
 Why I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get
 I said, I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get
 I don't get it, I don't get it at all
 I don't get it, I don't get it at all
 Why I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get
 I said, I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get
 I can't get it, I can't get it
 I can't get it, I can't get it
 Oh you don't understand, you just sit through my head
 I can't get it, I can't get it, I know
 A yacht, a Rolls and a private jet
 A dirty blonde in a red Corvette
 Wife and kids and a house and a pet
 Those are the things that I can't get
