"You Can't Have It All" lyrics
"You Can't Have It All"
Say you wanna make it big
Doesn't pay to make it small
And you wanna be on top
Reach the heights, name up in lights
Having it all
What's the matter with the world today?
Telling everyone, "Take care"
Know you wanna get your way
Every time, bottom line
Just ain't fair
So hang on just a little bit longer
Be a little bit stronger, things are gonna change
Hang on just a little bit tighter
When you're traveling lighter, you can get away
Any time of day, wait and see
Do we really need more stuff?
Know what all the stuff is for
Gotta be enough's enough
Take your time, you gonna find
Don't need much more
So hang on just a little bit longer
Be a little bit stronger, things are gonna change
Hang on just a little bit tighter
When you're traveling lighter, you can get away
Any time of day, gonna see
Don't it make you wonder why?
Everywhere an emptiness
Used to be 'bout you and I
Now you know, when you go
You won't be missed
And you can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all

Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain

Saturday, I said I'm sorry
