"Take The Cake" lyrics

You only come around here when you need a shoulder to cry on
You lost another love and I'm the only one you rely on
I'll be a friend when your heart is battered and reeling
But you got to understand that love is more than a feeling

So, honey, take a break, you can't take anymore
You can take the cake, but who's keeping score?
If you love yourself and give a little ground
Give it all away, it'll come back around

Giving and taking, sounds so basic and simple
They're not what they seem when you're trying to light love's candle
If you give more than you take, you won't ever run out of nothing
Love'll fill you up, spilling from your cup over-running

So, honey, take a break, you can't take anymore
You can take the cake, but who's keeping score?
If you love yourself, and give a little ground
If you give it all away, it'll come back around

I know you work real hard, you've earned everything that you got now
Lost your peace of mind, or maybe just simply forgot how
'Cause when you're always taking, you think everybody's out to get ya
But if you give it all up, you're a river to your people forever

So honey, take a break, you can't take anymore
You can take the cake, but who's keeping score?
If you love yourself, spread it all around
And give it all away, it'll come back around

So honey take a break, I can't take anymore
You can take the cake, but who's keeping score?
If you love yourself, spread it all around
Gotta give it all away, it'll come back around
Yeah, you give it all away, it'll come back around
