Take the Cake

You only come around here when you need a shoulder to cry on You lost another love, and I'm the only one you rely on I'll be your friend when your heart is battered and reelin' But you got to understand that love is more than a feeling So honey, take a break, you can't take anymore You can take the cake, but who's keeping score? If you love yourself and give a little ground And give it all away, it'll come back around Does giving and taking sound so basic and simple? They're not what they seem when you're trying to light love's candles If you give more than you take, you won't ever run out of nothing Love will fill you up, spilling from your cup, overrunning So honey, take a break, you can't take anymore You can take the cake, but who's keeping score? If you love yourself and give a little ground You give it all away, it'll come back around I know you work real hard You've earned everything that you got now Lost your peace of mind or maybe just simply forgot how 'Cause when you're always taking, you think everybody's out to get you But if you give it all up, you're a river to your people forever So honey, take a break, you can't take anymore You can take the cake, but who's keeping score? If you love yourself, spread it all around And give it all away, it'll come back around So honey, take a break, I can't take anymore You can take the cake, but who's keeping score? If you love yourself, spread it all around You gotta give it all away, it'll come back around Yeah, you give it all away, it'll come back around, yeah
