You Can’t Take it With You Lyrics
You say you’re self made
All the money you saved
Won’t be no use in the end
Of games that you played
Fame and fortune you craved
Became on what you depend
You’re hooked like a fish that took the bait
There is nothing left here to debate
I’m gonna tell you straight
‘Fore it’s too late
And you’re lowered down to your grave
I’m sure that you must know
You can’t take it with you when you go
You say I’m jealous so
That I have fallen low
Coz you’ve got more than I got
You don’t understand
That from here where I stand
It’s about what you have not
You’re alone and your heart’s so cold
Love is worth more than all your gold
I’m gonna tell you straight
‘Fore it’s too late
And you’re lowered down to your grave
I’m sure that you must know
You can’t take it with you when you go
Don’t take all that you can
Sometimes you have to give
For you will surely be
The richest dead man
Buried in the cemetery
You say that one day
We all have to pay
And you’ve got plenty in reserve
I know through the night
I’ll sleep till morning light
And wake up with steady nerves
You say that money’s thicker than blood
Hey, haven’t you heard that money can’t buy you love
I’m gonna tell you straight
‘Fore it’s too late
And you’re lowered down to your grave
I’m sure that you must know
You can’t take it with you when you go
Paul Robert Thomas
