YOU CAN’T HAVE EVERYTHING

On the day that it occurs to you
That the grass looks greener over there
You better be prepared to lose something
You better have enough to spare
Its a shame but you can’t have everything
Its a lowdown shame you can’t have everything

I had a lover who cared for me
She gave me everything she had
I gave her up on a childish whim
Now its too late to call her back
Its a shame but you can’t have everything
Its a lowdown shame you can’t have everything

When you’re never satisfied with what you got
You’re bound to lose the things you have
Threw caution to the wind, I lost the plot
Let it slip from my grasp
Its a shame but you can’t have everything
Its a lowdown shame you can’t have everything

So though you cry and say you’re born to lose
Don’t fret and wallow in despair
Before you make your mark you got to pay your dues
But in the end you’re gonna get what’s fair
Ain’t it a shame you can’t have everything
Its a lowdown shame - you can’t have everything
Yes its a shame you can’t have everything
But that’s the point of the game – you can’t have everything
Oh no oh no oh no
