I Want The One I Can't Have - The Smiths

On the day that your mentality

Decides to try to catch up with your biology

Come round …

'Cause I want the one I can’t have

And it’s driving me mad

It’s all over, all over, all over my face

On the day that your mentality

Catches up with your biology

I want the one I can’t have

And it’s driving me mad

It’s all over, all over, all over my face

A double bed

And a stalwart lover for sure

These are the riches of the poor

A double bed

And a stalwart lover for sure

These are the riches of the poor

And I want the one I can’t have

And it’s driving me mad

It’s all over, all over my face

A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails

Raised on Prisoner’s Aid

He killed a policeman when he was

Thirteen

And somehow that really impressed

Me And it’s written all over my face

Oh, these are the riches of the poor

These are the riches of the poor

I want the one I can’t have

And it’s driving me mad

It’s written all over my face

On the day that your mentality

Catches up with your biology

And if you ever need self-validation

Just meet me in the alley by the

Railway station

It’s all over my face

Oh …
