Neil Diamond - You Can't Have It All Lyrics

Say you wanna make it big
Doesn’t pay to make it small
And you wanna be on top
Reach the heights, name up in lights
Having it all

What’s the matter with the world today?
Telling everyone, “Take care”
Know you wanna get your way
Every time [?]
Just ain’t fair

So hang on just a little bit long
Be a little bit strong, things are gonna change
Hang on just a little bit tighter
When you’re traveling lighter, you can get away
Any time of day, wait and see

Do we really need more stuff?
Know what all the stuff is for
Gotta be enough’s enough
Take your time, you’re gonna find
Don’t need much more

So hang on just a little bit long
Be a little bit strong, things are gonna change
Hang on just a little bit tighter
When you’re traveling lighter, you can get away
Any time of day, gonna see

Don’t it make you wonder why?
Everywhere an emptiness
Used to be ‘bout you and I
Now you know, when you go
It won’t be missed

And you can’t have it all
You can’t have it all
You can’t have it all
