Smokey Robinson - Reaching For Something I Can't Have lyrics

(Got me reaching Reaching You got me reaching Reaching) Reaching for something I can't have Though it may cause me pain Needing his love so much till only hurt remains Standing high on society hill A voice calls out to me From a boy I love & need so much He says he's not for me 'Cause I live up & he lives down On the poor side of town But still I'm reaching Reaching I can't help reaching Reaching Cause he tells me he has nothing And his place is not with me His pride keeps him away But still I love him more each day So I'll keep... Reaching for something I can't have Though it may cause me pain Needing his love so much till only hurt remains He says He cannot give me all the things a rich man can "Stay on your hill And don't look down Forget our love began." And even though he loves me so He must let me go But still I'm reaching Reaching I can't help reaching Reaching For a boy who cannot give me nothing but his love But he's everything I need And I've got to make him see So I'll keep... Reaching for something I can't have Though it may cause me pain Needing his love so much Till only hurt remains I need him and I want him And I don't care if he has nothing Just to have him close to me That's all I ever need
