"You Can't Take It With You" lyrics - ERIC STEWART

Well I know a man, he's as rich as a king, ooh
But when you dim the light in the dead of the night
He ain't got a thing.
I see a fool here, he don't have a friend, no
To buy the love he needs, the camaraderie
He's got a lot to spend. Ooh baby

You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no

Well I know a man, he used to strum along, but
No matter how I try, I can't imagine why
He thinks he wrote the song.
But there'll come a time, when the road gets tough, yeah
But if you've got your friends no matter what you spend
You've always got enough. Ooh yeah

You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no.

You know I know the truth, it's so plain to me, ooh
And if you strip away the lies you live each day,
I'm sure you're gonna see
That here is a fake, but it's so nicely done,
And as the emperor knows, you need some warmer clothes,
You ain't got nothing on. Ooh baby

You can't take it with you man, you've gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no.

Well I had a dream, I would have shared with you, ooh
You couldn't take the truth, you're living in a spoof,
Don't wanna play with you.
And there is a saying, yeah and it's always true,
So if you're dealing low, you're gonna reap what you sow,
It's gonna get to you. No, no, no

You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no, no, no

You know I know a guy and he flew so high, ooh
But he became so small we couldn't see him at all,
We didn't even try.
And you're the living proof, you're just floating on air, yeah
Mister Wonderful your tricks are magical, but you're just not there.

Ooh no, no
You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no, Oooh-ooh-ooooh

Ooh baby
You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no
You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no, no
What the girls do
You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no. Oooh-ooh-ooooh
You can't take it with you man, you gotta let it go.
I said you can't take it with you no, no, no, no, no, no, no
