Can't Have Your Cake
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.
When I was a young boy my mama would say
Son, you ain't always gonna get your way
Times will be good, times will be bad
You ain't always gonna get a winning hand
Son, she always said, you gotta stand tall
Even when it looks like you'll take a fall
Life is short and sometimes sweet
Get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat
(Pre-Chorus)
Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Gotta live your life by the golden rule
(Chorus)
I guess it's true what they say
Really true what they say
I guess what mama said was true
Can't have your cake and eat it too, babe
I never doubted any word my
Mutha said
With all the sinnin' runnin' 'round my head
(Pre-Chorus)(Pre-Chorus)(Chorus)
