The Association - Waitin' Ain't Gettin’ lyrics

A glad hog doggin' a bone
Knuckle bone and a head of stone
Try to get away from a two dollar cop
But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and
Gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone

Have mercy, baby

A runaway mule, pig in a poke
TV screen and a bullfrog croak
Tryin’ to find a way to get a bottle of pop
But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and
Gettin’ ain’t got and I’m gone
Have mercy, baby

Horse’s ear, hoot and a holler
Midriff bulge and a righteous squalor
Tryin’ to find a place where nothing’s hot
But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and
Gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone)

Have mercy, baby

The cocks crow, hole in the wall
Man sayin’ God is a cannonball
Wanna find out so my head won't rot
But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and
Gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone)

Have mercy, baby

Wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone)

Have mercy, baby

But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and
I still ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone)

Have mercy, baby

Grabbin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone)

Have mercy, baby
