Ellis-Bextor, Sophie - I Am Not Good At Not Getting What I Want Lyrics






I suppose that I should count my blessings
For a young thing my world is not too bad
Got a window, a place with a pillow and a friend or two
But ever since I saw his face that morning
Nothing else has got the same summer sheen
Will he notice my eyes have got so lonely?
He may not be the one but I want him for my own and I know

I am not good at not getting what I want

Maybe I sound like a spoilt baby
But I know that there are some who have it all
I want to join them, to feel that glow around me
I want him more each day ?cos he never looks my way and I know

I am not good at not getting what I want

If we ever found ourselves together
I can promise I will love you every day
But I've a feeling seeing is believing
You never look my way so I want you more than I can say

Ellis-Bextor, Sophie I Am Not Good At Not Getting What I Want Comments
  1. A.... n....

    My favourite songs EVER!

  2. A.... P....

    My anthem!!

  3. S.... C....

    Well, I'm from Mexico and to me as she sings this song is very romantic and with good sound.
      accent, background music and arrangements make this song a great song.

  4. x.... ....

    I agree, I think it needs a more softer, more feminine/innocent and breathier voice to contrast the lyrics and create some irony. I tell you who I think would be perfect for this song, Sarah Nixey of Black Box Recorder fame..

  5. x.... ....

    This song is a bit disappointing after reading the lyrics and being impressed. I think someone else could do a better job with it. But then I'm not really a fan of Sophie for her music. Sorry SBE fans! Just being honest.

  6. x.... ....

    Could it be the very English accent?

  7. M.... ....

    Why Sophie Ellis Bextor never made it big in the US is beyond me...

  8. M.... ....

    I'm a Spice Girls fan but I don't think Emma Bunton has the vocal range to have made this song any better in any way...

  9. S.... ....

    it should be a single ! why they just release 2 single for this album?
    I want to slap in the face those at the labelmusic who take this decision... this song was the perfect 2nd or 3rd single... it has a real early 70s touch...it's pop...vintage softrock... some old rythmn'blues influences ...perfect...it's an abnormality in the usual Bextor style...
    I like what she does most of the time...but here... it's even better
    I hope that Sophie will make more songs in that style in the future...

  10. M.... ....

    I love it!
