I Can't Take It With You lyrics

You can’t know a man until you eat at his table You can’t understand a liar without the truth You can’t lock me up and tell me about freedom You can’t have me if I can’t have you It seems like you don’t care about tomorrow You’re wasting every minute that you’ve bought There’s a pile of hearts you’ve broken and you’ve borrowed And your only regret was getting caught You can’t take it with you When you’re gone Is it possible to be happy and be human Certainly but not without the pain And you’re scared of a war you never signed up for Like a bridegroom left standing in the rain You can’t take it with you When you’re gone You said all your cards were on the table But the jack of spades is hiding in the pew Begging God above for forgiveness You can’t have me if I can’t have you You can’t take it with you You can’t take it with you When you’re gone
