i m gonna have my cake and eat it too

Teena Marie

I miss your gentleness that spoiled me
your tender kiss that so aroused me
I miss your nakedness next to mine
your sweet familiar scent has left me
with memories that come and get me
in the dreams I have at night

I need you more than I can say
how can I express
through all these words I know
I m a lady, yes I am
with my destination planned
I don t have time for babies no, no
and it s hard, hard to keep a man

but I tell you one thing that I m gonna do
I m gonna have my cake and eat it too
one day, some way, somehow, somewhere
somewhere, somewhere
can you wait baby
somewhere
can you wait baby

I count my blessings, make my wishes
and still I find myself suspicious
that truly love isn t just a myth
and it s hard to fall in love when you know
you got to rush to do the next show
and you can t be with the one you re with

but I need you more than I can say
how can I express
through all these words I know
I m a lady, yes I am
with my situation planned
I don t have time for babies no, no
and it s hard, hard to keep a man
but I tell you one thing that I m gonna to do
I ll have my cake and eat it too
one day
tell you one thing that I m gonna do
I ll have my cake and eat it too
one day, somehow, some way
I ll tell you one thing that I m gonna do
I m gonna have my cake, baby, and you
one day, someway, someway
sugar

tell you one thing that I m gonna do
I m gonna have my cake and eat it too
one day, somehow, someway
sugar, please don t hold your breath
cause you just might turn blue
if your patience doesn t get the best of you
one day I m gonna have my cake, my love
and you
