Lyrics:

Tell me how long must I keepWANTING THINGS,Needing things, when I have so much.There are many men who have much less than me,Day by day they make their way.And they find more in life thank I can see.Tell me,When will I learn to resistWANTING THINGS,Touching things that say 'do not touch.'Peo-ple that I meet seem to think I am strong,They don't see inside of me.So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong.Tell me,Why must I keep WANTING THINGS,Needing things that just can't be mine!*(yes, WANTING THINGS, that just can't...be...mine...)*Additional lyrics from Original Broadway Cast Album for Promises, Promises

Burt Bacharach Wanting Things
