I want him but he don't want me
He wants somebody else that I can't be
And she's got a man that she wants to leave
'Cause he can't seem to make her happy.
Does it have to be wrong to make it feel right?
Tell me why ain't nobody satisfied?

Old man lookin' at a photograph
Of a love that's long gone from his past
And his wife's got a letter that she can't read
From a boy who never came back from the sea
All these secrets or lies we keep deep inside.
Does it have to be wrong to make it feel right?
Tell me why there ain't nobody satisfied, yeah

Instrumental break

See that man walkin' down the street,
Yeah, what are the odds, he's the one for me?
An' what if I pass him by an' he's got the love I need?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell me why there ain't nobody satisfied?

I want him but he don't want me
He wants somebody else that I can't be
And she's got a man that she wants to leave
'Cause he can't seem to make her happy.
See that man walkin' down the street
Yeah, what are the odds, he's the one for me?
An' what if I pass him by an' he's got the love I need?
