The Ice Cubes/Joe McFadden - I Want Doesn't Get

From the BBC mini series: Sex, Chips Rock and Roll

Lyrics:
Make a wish just before you close your eyes
Doesn't happen and it comes with no surprise
You want something and your mind is set
But your mama says "I want doesn't get"
It's the same old story happening once again

I recall what they always told me
What you see is not what you get
I've got you to have and to hold me
But it seems it's only in my dreams

Will I get in if I do the things I should
Let it happen and I promise I'll be good
You keep on wishing and you want it bad
But your mama says "I want shouldn't have"
It's the same old story don't it just drive you mad

I recall what they always told me
What you see is not what you get
I've got you to have and to hold me
But it seems it's only in my dreams

You want something and your mind is set
But your mama says "I want doesn't get"
It's the same old story happening once again

I recall what they always told me
What you see is not what you get
I've got you to have and to hold me
But it seems it's only in my dreams

But it seems it's only in my dreams

@ambassador7 agreed! I remember the show, and I've been meaning to look this up on youtube for weeks - finally got round to it. Quality song!

One of the BBCs best ever series - deserves a repeat showing.
