Everything I Want lyrics

I got everything I could
When the getting was good
I had something on the side
I had a dirty, sweet ride

I had the world on a string
When you weren't getting jack
I took everything I want
You ain't getting it back
You bet the house on red
When it came up on black
Just like I knew that it would

Now you watch me disappear
Every time that you get near
You think I'm over there
When I'm really over here

I had the world on a string
When you weren't getting jack
I took everything I want
You ain't getting it back
You bet the house on red
When it came up on black
Just like I knew that it would
I had everything I need
When I saw you on your knees
I had something on the side
I had a dirty, sweet ride

I had the world on a string
When you weren't getting jack
I took everything I want
You ain't getting it back
You bet the house on red
When it came up on black
Just like I knew that it would

Now you watch me disappear
Every time that you get near
You think I'm over there
When I'm really over here
