Rick James - I'm Gonna Have My Cake (And Eat It Too) lyrics

[Verse 1] I miss your gentleness that spoiled me Your tender kiss that so aroused me I miss your nakedness next to mine Your sweet familiar scent has left me With memories that come and get me In the dreams I have at night [Hook] I need you more than I can say How can I express Through all these words I know I'm a lady, yes I am With my destination planned I don't have time for babies, no, no And it's hard, hard to keep a man But I tell you one thing that I'm gonna do I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too One day, someway, somehow, somewhere Somewhere, somewhere Can you wait baby Somewhere Can you wait baby [Verse 2] I count my blessings, make my wishes And still I find myself suspicious The truly love isn't just a myth And it's hard to fall in love when you know You got to rush to do the next show And you can't be with the one you're with [Hook] But I need you more than I can say How can I express Through all these words I know I'm a lady, yes I am With my situation planned I don't have time for babies, no, no And it's hard, hard to keep a man But I tell you one thing that I'm gonna to do I'll have my cake and eat it too One day I'll tell you one thing that I'm gonna do I'll have my cake and eat it too One day, somehow, someway I'll tell you one thing that I'm gonna do I'm gonna have my cake, baby, and you One day, someway, someway Sugar [Keyboard, piano, drum, saxophone and flute solos] [Hook] Tell you one thing that I'm gonna do I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too One day, somehow, someway Sugar, please don't hold your breath Cause you just might turn blue If your patience doesn't get the best of you One day I'm gonna have my cake, my love And you
