Cyndi Lauper - Take What You Got lyrics

[HARRY] Remember the pub where our fathers went to spend the end of the day [CHARLIE] Remember the yard behind the pub where we'd run and play? [HARRY] Yeah, well, now the pub is a laundromat [CHARLIE] Now the yard is a high-rise flat [HARRY] You can't go back You can't make it last You've got to take what you've got Even where your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes you've gotta rewrite the plot You've gotta take what you got [CHARLIE] You'd always say that one of these days You'd get out of Northampton town [HARRY] You'd always say that you wouldn't stay, no You wouldn't stick around [CHARLIE] Never knew what I wanted before Now I'm even more unsure [HARRY] You can't move on if you're still in the past You've gotta take what you've got Even where your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes you've gotta rewrite the plot You've gotta take what you got [CHARLIE] Everybody's telling me what I need to be Change with the times, move to London town Or live out a legacy Well, maybe this time I'll take a chance Leap into the vast expanse Maybe this time I seize my destiny My destiny .... yehhh [HARRY] If you're on the wrong road, turn back [CHARLIE] So, youll help me out? Thank you, Harry Two, three! [HARRY / CHARLIE] You've gotta take what you got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes you gotta rewrite the plot [CHARLIE] You've gotta take what you got [HARRY] You've gotta take what you got
