Wanting what I can't have,
That seems to be my M.O.,
Why I keep doing it I'll never know,
You'd think I'd understand that I can't have it;

(Yeah yeah yeah,)
(Go ahead,)
(Make a blonde joke,)
(I'm not even blonde dumbass,)

But no,
I still go on wanting it more and more,
I wan what someone else has;

(Yes,)
(I know,)
(Slut,)
(Shut up,)

I want what's too far away,
I want what doesn't want me,
I seem to want the impossible,
And then outta the blue,
Something wants me,
And of course I get excited,
But then there's that luck I got,
Something always comes up,
And I always end up a day late and a buck short,
Story of my life,
It's not just that it happens with something important,
No,
Of course not,
It's with EVERYTHING,
I can't seem to get a break,
No matter how much time I have,
Or how many 20's I got in my wallet,
It always ends up short;

(Yeah,)
(Go ahead,)
(I said short,)
(I know,)
(Smartass,)
(You aren't helping my situation,)
(So just shut up,)
(I don't care,)
(I've got bigger issues to deal with,)

Because I don't seem to have enough of somethin',
And lemme tell ya,
It ain't fun not havin it;

(Not that you care,)
(You're too busy makin wise cracks,)
(Doesn't really bother me though,)
(So get over yourself a'ight?)
(Why am I even bothering?)
(I'm not writing this for you,)

I'm not writing this for anybody,
I'm just writing it,
Just putting my pen to paper,
And letting the ink write whatever comes to mind;

(That explains the ranting, eh?)
(Yeah,)
(Bite me,)
(I'm having enough problems without you,)
(So could ya just lay off maybe five minutes?)
(Somehow I doubt that,)
(But one can always hope,)

It's not like it's my fault I come up short;

(And don't even say it,)

I am who I am,
With ot without whatever's missing,
No,
Strike that,
Because if I had what was missing,
I wouldn't be me now would I?
The thing I need,
Wants me without whatever's missing,
But good luck findin' that,
And we all know how my luck goes;

(That's it exactly,)

A day late and a buck short,
Ahh the universe loves me,

(Don'tchya think?)
(What?)
(You don't agree?)
(Can't imagine why,)
(Well, I guess I'll have to put up with you,)
(Lucky lucky me,)
(Nothin' I can do about you,)

At least no now,
Not until I got an extra penny,
At least,
And I'm half an hour early.
