"Can't Take It With You" lyrics

You can't know a man till you eat at his table
You can't understand a lie without the truth
You can't lock me up then tell me about freedom
You can't have me if I can't have you

It seems like you don't care about tomorrow
You're wasting every minute that you've bought
There's a pile of hearts you've broken and you've borrowed
And your only regret was getting caught

You can't take it with you
When you're gone

Is it possible to be happy and be human?
Certainly but not without the pain
When you're scared of a war you never signed up for
Like a bridegroom left standing in the rain

You can't take it with you
When you're gone

You said all your cards were on the table
But the jack of spades is hiding in the pew
Begging god above for forgiveness
You can't have me if I can't have you

You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
When your gone
