You Can't Have It Both Ways Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where did I lose you,
Where did this all go wrong,
You say the reasons are complicated,
But I think I've figured it out.

You think that love is a playground,
You set the rules in the naivety of youth,
You think I'll settle for you,
With the faith of a child in a church,

He can't understand the reasons,
You don't understand, do you.

[Chorus]
You can't have it both ways,
Though you try and you try,
You can't have it both ways.

You can't make up the rules,
In this game we all play,
You can't have it both ways.

[Verse 2]
You come home in a mess,
You smile and you laugh but I still feel his presence on your lips,
Even when we're all alone,
I know it don't mean a damn thing, no,

I don't understand the reasons,
You don't understand, do you.

[Chorus]
