can t have it all

Sophie Ellis Bextor

I tell myself I can't have you
It's something that I'll ignore
I tell myself I don't need you
But I'm falling, falling once more

And everyday it gets harder
To pick my heart off the floor
I say it over and over
Girl, you can't have it all
You can't have it all

I dream that you'll bring me your love
Only in my dreams is not enough

I keep on telling myself, telling myself
I can't, can't have it all, can't have it all
I keep on telling myself, I can't have it all
I can't have you
And now I'm learning to live, learning to live
I'm learning to live on without
Having you returning
I can't have it all, but all that I want
Is you

You remain in the twilight
With eyes that look but don't see
And I'm a book lying open
While you're lock with no key

I kid myself every morning
That the ache for you is no more
I dream that you'll bring me your love

Chorus
I keep on telling myself, telling myself
I can't, can't have it all, can't have it all
I keep on telling myself, I can't have it all
I can't have you
And now I'm learning to live, learning to live
I'm learning to live on without
Having you returning
I can't have it all, you're all that I want

Why would I listen when I hear them saying
You're better off without a heart that's breaking
Though I'm fool enough to love when you don't want me
I'm wise enough to know that you're always haunt me (x2)

Chorus (x2)
