Both Ways

I want the world without

Ever having to leave my house

I want answers that don’t

Require any figuring out

And I want cake looking pretty on a plate

But I also want it in my mouth

Untouched, unscathed

Uncut, unaged

Can’t I have it

Have it both ways?

Can’t I have it both ways?

Both ways

Have it both ways?

Can't I have it both ways?

Both ways

I want true love but I

Don’t really want to compromise

To atone for my sins without doing a thing

Or changing too much about my life

And I wanna dance like nobody is watching

But I can always feel a pair of eyes

Withdraw, engage

Erase, engrave

Can’t I have it

Have it both ways

Can’t I have it both ways?

Both ways

Have it both ways?

Can't I have it both ways?

Both ways

When I’m down, pull you close

When I’m good, let you go

When I’m warm, treat you cold

Won’t you let me have it

Be the light in the dark

Be your friend, play the part

Hold your hand, break your heart

I know I can have it

Both ways

Both ways

Both ways

Can’t I have it both ways?

Both ways

Have it both ways?

Can't I have it both ways?

Both ways

Can't I have it both ways?

Have it both ways?

Can't I have it both ways?

Both ways

Have it both ways?

Can't I have it both ways?

Both ways

Can't I have it both ways?
