Can’t Get My Hands on You Songtext
von The Jeff Healey Band

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
