I miss your gentleness that spoiled me

Your tender kiss that so aroused me

I miss your nakedness next to mine

Your sweet familiar scent has left me

With memories that come and get me

In the dreams I have at night

I need you more than I can say

How can I express

Through all these words I know

I'm a lady, yes I am

With my destination planned

I don't have time for babies no, no

And it's hard, hard to keep a man

But I tell you one thing that I'm gonna do

I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too

One day, some way, somehow, somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere

Can you wait baby

Somewhere

Can you wait baby

I count my blessings, make my wishes

And still I find myself suspicious

That truly love isn't just a myth

And it's hard to fall in love when you know

You got to rush to do the next show

And you can't be with the one you're with

But I need you more than I can say

How can I express

Through all these words I know

I'm a lady, yes I am

With my situation planned

I don't have time for babies no, no

And it's hard, hard to keep a man

But I tell you one thing that I'm gonna to do

I'll have my cake and eat it too

One day

Tell you one thing that I'm gonna do

I'll have my cake and eat it too

One day, somehow, some way

I'll tell you one thing that I'm gonna do

I'm gonna have my cake, baby, and you

One day, someway, someway

Sugar

Tell you one thing that I'm gonna do

I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too

One day, somehow, someway

Sugar, please don't hold your breath

'Cause you just might turn blue

If your patience doesn't get the best of you

One day I'm gonna have my cake, my love

And you
