I Can't Get My Hands On You
I've got two islands in the Bahamas
Got some land in the south of France
I am gonna get me a house out on Malibu beach
Just as soon as I get the chance
Though I ain't got a driver's license
I've got a Rolls and five limousines
I've got every little thing that money can buy
And I guess that I am a man of means
Well, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world
But I can't get my hands on you
Once I loaned out a whole lot of money
To a man who I called my friend
And he skipped town without paying me back
Well, he'll never pull that trick again
And though it ain't always been this easy
I worked hard to get to this spot
And all that it took was determination
To get all the things that I've got
You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world
But I can't get my hands on you
No, no, no
Hey!
Well, I guess if I had to admit it
In my life, I've done okay
Whenever they told me that I couldn't get something
I went out and found me a way
But with you, it's a different story, baby
You just won't give me a break
How am I gonna face all of my friends
My whole reputation's at stake
You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world
But I can't get my hands on you
Oh, I can't do it, baby
No, no, no
Can't get a hand on you
Got some land in the south of France
I am gonna get me a house out on Malibu beach
Just as soon as I get the chance
Though I ain't got a driver's license
I've got a Rolls and five limousines
I've got every little thing that money can buy
And I guess that I am a man of means
Well, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world
But I can't get my hands on you
Once I loaned out a whole lot of money
To a man who I called my friend
And he skipped town without paying me back
Well, he'll never pull that trick again
And though it ain't always been this easy
I worked hard to get to this spot
And all that it took was determination
To get all the things that I've got
You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world
But I can't get my hands on you
No, no, no
Hey!
Well, I guess if I had to admit it
In my life, I've done okay
Whenever they told me that I couldn't get something
I went out and found me a way
But with you, it's a different story, baby
You just won't give me a break
How am I gonna face all of my friends
My whole reputation's at stake
You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world
But I can't get my hands on you
Oh, I can't do it, baby
No, no, no
Can't get a hand on you
