So Confusing

I was walking down the street
Nearly tripping over my feet
When I saw him on the other side
Looking so tight, help me, my oh
My head got turned
My mind got twisted
And I really thought that I'd been short-listed
For a little rendezvous
With the ultimate ooh-la-la-je-ne-sais-quois

But it never is the way it seems
And it never turns out how you're working it out in your brain
It's always the same
Sa-sa-same old story, that you can't always get what you want
'Cause what you think you want ain't what you really, really want
But of course, you don't ever know
That this is so
It's so confusing, ohohoh, oh yeah

While my mind was still occupied
Daydreaming what could and what might
The guy from the other side was long gone
And actually, I was pretty glad
'Cause I wasn't aware what was lying ahead
I'd never guessed, I'd never believed
But there he was, there he was

And now I'm walking down the street
Curled up in love from my head to my feet
Mr. Right right by my side
Looking so tight, ooh la la, he's got this
Je ne sais quois
Oh yes, he does
I'm not pretending
This is a happy ending

But it never is the way it seems
And it never turns out how you're working it out in your brain
It's always the same
Sa-sa-same old story, that you can't always get what you want
'Cause what you think you want ain't what you really, really want
But of course, you don't ever know
That this is so

No, it never is the way it seems
And it never turns out how you're working it out in your brain
It's always the same
Sa-sa-same old story, that you can't always get what you want
'Cause what you think you want ain't what you really, really want
But of course, you don't ever know
That this is so

La la la la la la la la la la, ooh
So confusing
La la la la la la la la, ohohoh, oh oh
