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
