Cant Have Your Cake

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



Everything she said was true



My mama never was a fool



Gotta live your life by the golden rule



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



Everything she said was true



My mama never was a fool



Gotta live your life by the golden rule



Everything she said was true



My mama never was a fool



Gotta live your life by the golden rule



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
