Motley Crue - 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

(Pre-Chorus)

Everything she said was true

My mama never was a fool

Gotta live your life by the golden rule

(Chorus)

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

(Pre-Chorus)(Pre-Chorus)(Chorus)
