Everybody Want What They Don't Got Songtext
von Prince

Everybody want what they don′t got
People always want what they should not
If they got nothin' or if they got a lot
Everybody want what they don′t got, oh

Sweet Sarah Succotash saw a silver scarf
Can you guess what sweet Sarah Succotash wants?
She used her last penny to buy a Jack Benny album
For the stupid jokes nobody got, oh


Oh, I really like what my neighbor's drivin'
No, I don′t care how long he been strivin′
I guess I just want it 'cause people think it′s hot
Everybody want what they don't got, oh

Don′t be deceived by your greedy heart
It could be the devil in disguise
Check the ingredients before you start
One day they all could change in front of your eyes

Everybody want what they don't got
People always want what they should not
If they got nothin′ or if they got a lot
Everybody want what they don't got, oh

Yeah, you know, I really had my eye on that sprinkler system of yours
And I was figuring since you don't ever use it
