You Can't Have Everything

(Album: What Every Girl Should Know - 1960)

Say there, if you are a vexed one
A dreary, weary and perplexed one
I've got trouble and he's got trouble
And you're no better than the next one!
You will find your share of bliss
If you'll just remember this;

You can't have everything
Be satisfied with the little you may get
You can't have everything
Don't envy neighbours or the fortunes that they get!

Live and laugh and listen
Don't be greedy
Help the needy
And ya gotta get lucky, yes indeedy!

Rich man, poor man, beggar or king
You just can't have everything
So thank your stars above
For a song in your heart
A penny in your pocket
And someone in your arms to love

You can't have everything
Be satisfied with the little you may get
You can't have everything
Don't envy neighbours or the fortunes that they get!

Live and laugh and listen
Don't be greedy
Help the needy
And ya gotta get lucky, yes indeedy!

Rich man, poor man, beggar or king
You just can't have everything
So thank your stars above
For a song in your heart
A penny in your pocket
And someone in your arms to love
