You Can't Have Everything
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 Written by Ross Wilson Copyright 2006 Mushroom Music Publishing (Australia)
