Take Some... Leave Some Lyrics

Can't be greedy
(Ahh yeah)
Give me some
I need some dust
The cage is bust

You can't have it all
Do you know where i'm coming from?
You can't be greedy
You gotta take some.. and leave some
I never been a cat
Who wanted it all
I'm so glad
I'm not that kind of guy

But the pantry is big enough for everyone
You gotta take some... and leave some

(Babe! Whooh!)

(Take it all)

You take it all (Look here)
So I (Uh!)
I'm not that kind of a guy
And i just want
A piece of the pie
I hope you know where I'm coming from
You gotta take some... then leave some

Life can be so good
Life can be so sweet
Eatin' with you (Uh!)
Can be so sweet

Don't give me the [?] liquor
Gotta take some meat

(All my! Whooh!)
All my life
I dreamed of
A decent life
Good food, warm bed
Suit and Clothes (Ah)
Shoes and clothes

All my life
I dreamed of good food
A good lovin'
Shoes 'n clothes

(Do it)
(Can't ya? Can't ya? A man need help! Can't ya?)

(Heeey!)
Here I come (Uh!)

Tell the politician
The hustlers
Live and let live (Hey! Heey!)
Tell the politicians
And the hustlers
Live and let live

You know where I'm coming from
Just take some... and leave some
I don't want it all
I just want a little bit
I don't want it all, good God, take me!
I just want a little bit
You gotta take some... leave some
Don't take the cake ah!
So many people on the take ah!

(Heeeeeehoowoo)

I feel so good
Disgusted
I want to scream! (Hiiiiwhooo! Hooo!)

(No, no!)
All my life i dreamed of
A descent life
Good food
A warm bed
Shoes 'n clothes

I need shoes 'n clothes
I need it
I need it
I need shoes 'n clothes
I need it (Hey!)
I need it, good God, give it!
I need it
See my friend over there
He need it
The cats on the corner everywhere (Ah!)
They need it
They need jobs, they need it (Uh! Ahh! Uh! Ahh! Uh! Ah!)
(Hey! Haah!)
They need it

You can't have it all...where I'm coming from
You know where I'm coming from
You know where
I'm coming from
You know where!
I'm coming from
You know where
I'm coming from
You know where
I'm coming from
I came with a band
Come on up!
A little bit more!

(Hey!)
Ah, can't have it..
Just take some... and leave some!

Take some... Leave some!
Don't take it all
Don't take it all
Don't! Don't! (Ahh!) Don't!
Don't take it
Leave some
You can't be greedy
You can't be greedy
Don't take the meat (Uh!)
Don't take it
