Lyrics
I Can Have Both
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Staring in the window of
the shop that never opens
Planning my selection from
all the treats inside
Should I take as I desire
Oh shall I, oh shall I?
Or should I hang around
to be enticed inside?
I'm trying to explain to myself
I can have both
I'm trying to explain to the voice inside
I can have both
I can have both
There's nobody around to say no
Who've brain-washed the small shy boy inside
He doesn't know
He can have both
Smiling through the window to
the one who never serves you
I've not been feeling myself tonight
Should I take as I feel like it
Well shall I, oh shall I?
Or should I wait and hope
to be dragged inside?
I'm trying to explain to myself
I can have both
I'm trying to explain to the voice inside
I can have both
I can have both
There's nobody around to say no
Who've brain-washed the small shy boy inside
He doesn't know
he can have both
I can have both
There's no need to choose
Because
I can have both
There's no need to choose
I can have both
There's no need to choose
