[Verse 1]
I got a lot of photographs
I set them all around the house
I hang them on the wall
And I think of you
I got a lot of memories
I wear them out on my sleeve
And I look for a heart
That pleases like you

[Chorus]
When I can't have you (When I can’t have you)
That's when I want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you)
All the time (My heart)
When I can’t have you (When I can't have you)
That's when I really want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you)
All the time

[Verse 2]
I got a lot of alibis
Of pre-meditated lies
But love is just a cheap disguise
Without you
I guess I'm just afraid to face
The mad and lonesome empty place
How am I to fill the space
Without you?
[Chorus]
When I can't have you (When I can't have you)
That's when I want you (That’s when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you)
All the time (My heart)
When I can’t have you (When I can't have you)
That’s when I really want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you)
All the time

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
When I can't have you (When I can't have you)
That’s when I want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you)
All the time (My heart)
When I can't have you (When I can't have you)
That's when I really want you (That's when I want you)
Yes, and I want you (You know that I want you)
All the time
