can't have it both ways
so mistreated and so abused
hey you really got yourself confused
it's just a choice you gotta make
i think you're making a big mistake
but if you really think you're missing out
be my guest baby and check it out
you want to be free to roam
but you still want a happy home
you can leave or you can stay, but you can't have it both ways

you say you only want a little bite
variety for the appetite
i've got the recipe you oughta try
it's called looking me in the eye
cross your legs and look away
i don't think you hear a word i say
you're lost in a fantasy
that kinda freedom can never be
let me put it another way
no you can't have it both ways
