You got me reachin' reachin'

Reachin' for somethin' 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 and need so much

He says he's not for me

'Cause I live up and he lives down

On the poor side of town

But still I'm reachin' reachin'

I can't help reachin' reachin'

'Cause he tells me he has nothin'

And his place is not with me

His pride keeps him away

But still I love him more each day

So I'll keep

Reachin' for somethin' 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 reachin' reachin'

I can't help reachin' reachin'

For a boy who cannot give me nothin' but his love

But he's everything I need

And I've got to make him see

So I'll keep

Reachin' for somethin' I can't have

Though it may cause me pain

Needing his love so much till only hurt remains

Oh 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
