Can't Have Your Cake Lyrics

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 Gotta live your life by the golden 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 Mutha said With all the sinnin' runnin' 'round my head Everything she said was true My mama never was a fool Gotta live your life by the golden rule Everything she said was true My mama never was a fool Gotta live your life by the golden 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
