lyrics

A friend once told me
Isn’t it enough
Two thirds of the cake
The road is always rough

And I just heard her talking
There was nothing I could say
Because I don’t want it
If I can’t have it all the way

She said if he loves you a little
You can make up for the rest
You can still have it good
Even if it ain’t the best

And I could see her talking
But all I heard that day
Was a heart so slowly breaking
For two-thirds of the way

If there’s not enough in me to love
Yet more of me than he would like
I’d run for the hills
I’d take another bite
Honey I want the whole cake
And I want it every day
If he can only love a little
Don’t stay another day
Don’t you stay
For two-thirds of the way

For me the love is sacred
It’s a world for just us two
A place where nothing matters
Except our love is true

Maybe it's enough to make you happy
Who am I to say
I’d just know I’d never want it
Two-thirds of the way

If there’s not enough in me to love
Yet more of me than he would like
I’d run for the hills
I’d take another bite
Honey I want the whole cake
And I want it every day
If he can only love a little
Don’t stay another day
Don’t you stay
For two-thirds of the way
