Can't have you all to myself
Gilbert O'Sullivan · Other Songs - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Always coping on my own
Girls were more or less
A trail of one night stands
But with you I realized
The morning after you arrived
A change of plans (a change of plans)
Instead of wishing you'd leave
I got down on my knees
Begged and pleaded with you
Not to get dressed
It's no secret that I love you
But what good is our affair
If I can't have you all to myself
She says while you're having fun
You are not the only one
There is someone else she sees
From time to time
Into detail she won't go
Only that he loves her so
But that's unkind (that's unkind)
Well you'll have to decide
I may not be riding high
In fact I'm so down
That I'm almost in hell...
Have you no consideration
What am I supposed to feel
If I can't have you all to my
(Can't have you all to my)
Can't have you all to myself
If I (can't have you all) to myself
If I (can't have you all) to myself
If I (can't have you all,
Can't have you all,
Can't have you all) to myself
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Love they say can break your
Heart in two
I always thought, rubbish, that's
Not true
It's true
You think you should run around
You don't want to settle down
Still you like me more than anyone else
It's not like me to be jealous
But what else is there to do
If I can't have you all to my
(Can't have you all to my)
Can't have you all to myself
Can't have you all to myself
