The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
When I get high, you always bring me down Everything I try, I hit the stony ground Got me so confused, and now you're feeling good Ever changing moods, I don't know what I should do Scratches down my back, when we're making love Give you all my time, but it's not enough In and out of style, like the music scene Feels like I'm living in a magazine You can't have it all You can't have it all You can't have it all Voices in your head, always doubting me Paranoid distortions of reality You tell me all the time that there's something wrong But you never know what you really want You can't have it all You can't have it all You can't have it all You can't have it, you can't have it all You, can't, have, it all You can't, have, it, all I'm losing my mind, it comes too easily Blaming someone else, for your misery Walking on eggshells, until you're feeling bad This psycho drone is taking over my life You can't have it all You can't have it all You can't have it all You can't have it, you can't have it all You can't have it all (You can't have it all) You can't have it all (You can't have it all) You can't have it all (You can't have it all) (You can't have it all) You can't have it all
