I Can't Get It

I'm not destroyed but I'm right on the brink

A yacht, a Rolls and a private jet
I can't get it, I can't get it, I know
The little things that I never got
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 may be shut out but I ain't finished yet

Should make no difference in the end
Oh you don't understand, you just sit through my head
A beat up Chevy or a Mercedes Benz
They're just like cattle walkin' down the street
I said, I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get
Those uptown ladies on 5th Avenue
I can't get it, I can't get it
I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet
I can't get it, I can't get it
It's like I hate 'em but I want 'em too

I sit and count them shot by shot
Some get so fat while others never eat
What I don't have seems to mean so much
I don't get it, I don't get it at all
My mind is blank, I take another drink

A dirty blonde in a red Corvette
You can look boy but you can't touch
I don't get it, I don't get it at all
I don't get it, I don't get it at all

'Cos what I want I can never get
Wife and kids and a house and a pet
I don't get it, I don't get it at all
But I get mad, baby real upset
Why I can't get it, why it's a thing I'll never get
