“You Can’t Have All of Me” was the lead single for the band’s album “Life Sucks…Let’s Dance!”. It was released during their 2018 “Tickle My Tiki TOURch” tour.
The song touches on feelings of being drained and overwhelmed with life, more specifically being “spread too thin”.
[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning, have a hardy breakfast
Think about the nightmares that I didn't finish
New day, same problems, man it never ends
Everybody wants a piece and they never settle
What I'm giving out, it always seems too little
"Give me more, give me more" is what they all say
[Chorus]
You can't have all of me
My boss, my job, my family
You can't have all of me
I need a little for myself
[Verse 2]
Paying all these bills, man it's such a chore
By the time I write the check I already owe more
And there's always people taking up my time
I already lost my patience, now I'm gonna lose my mind
[Chorus]
You can't have all of me
My boss, my job, my family
You can't have all of me
I need a little for myself
You can't have all of me
My soul, my time, and my money
You can't have all of me
I need a little for myself
[Bridge]
Now I'm spread too thin, there's not much left of me
I'm like a skeleton, the vultures picked my bones clean
And all these vampires have got me bleeding out
Well they keep takin' more and I just have to go without
And all these obligations, well they just keep coming
Won't be long 'til I'm all used up, then I got nothing
[Chorus]
You can't have all of me
My boss, my job, my family
You can't have all of me
I need a little for myself
You can't have all of me
My soul, my time, and my money
You can't have all of me
I need a little for myself
[Outro]
You can't have all of me
You can't have all of me
