Can’t Have Your Cake Songtext
von Vince Neil

When I was a young boy, my mama would say
"Son, you ain′t always gonna get your way
Times will be good, times will be bad
You ain't always gonna get a winning hand"
"Son," she always said, "You gotta stand tall
Even when it looks like you′ll take a fall
Life is short and sometimes sweet
Get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat"

Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Just live your life by the going rule
I guess it's true what they say
Really true what they say
I guess what mama said was true
Can′t have your cake and eat it too, babe


Daddy chomp a belly
So I′m gonna pass baby the blues
She wants to visit both worlds
But honey, you gotta choose
She wants to learn that she wants cabinet
Mama never was a fool
Taught me all of the rules
Catch a ride on the falling star

Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Just live your life by the going rule
I guess it's true what they say
Really true what they say
I guess what mama said was true
Can′t have your cake and eat it too, babe

I never doubted any word my mother said
With all the sinning running round
Inside my head

(Whoo-hoo!) (Hey)

Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Just live your life by the going rule
I guess it's true what they say


Everything she said was true
Mama never was a fool
Just live your life by the going rule
I guess it′s true what they say
Really true what they say
I guess what mama said was true
Can't have your cake and eat it too, babe

Can′t eat it
Oh, no-no, no no-no no no-no (you can't eat it)
Can't have your cake and eat it too
