Take Some, Leave Some

Can't be greedy

Ah, yeah

Give me some

I need some dust

The cage is bust

You can't have it all

Do you know where I'm coming from?

You can't be greedy

You gotta take some and leave some

I never been a cat who wanted it all

I'm so glad I'm not that kind of guy

But the pantry is big enough for everyone

You gotta take some and leave some

Baby

Take it all

Don't take it all

Again

So I

I'm not that kind of guy

I just want a piece of the pie

I hope you know where I'm coming from

You gotta take some and then leave some

Life can be so good

Life can be so sweet

Eating with you can be so sweet

Don't give me the pot liquor

Gotta take some meat

Oh, my

All my life

I dreamed of a decent life

Good food, warm bed

Suit and clothes, ah

Shoes and clothes, ah

All my life

I dreamed of good food

A good loving

Shoes and clothes, ah

Do it, uh

Can't ya, can't ya?

A man need help

Can't ya, a man need help

Can't ya?

Here I come

Tell the politicians, the hustlers

Live and let live

Hey, hey

Tell the politicians and the hustlers

Live and let live

You know where I'm coming from

Just take some and leave some

I don't want it all

I just want a little bit

I don't want it all, good God, dig me?

I just want a little bit

You gotta take some and leave some

Don't take the cake, ah

So many people on the take, ah

I feel so good

I'm disgusted

I want to scream

No, no

All my life I dreamed of

A decent life

Good food, a warm bed

Shoes and clothes

I need shoes and clothes

I need it

I need it

Need shoes and clothes

I need it

I need it, good God, give it

See my friend over there

He need it

The cats on the corner everywhere

They need it

They need jobs, they need it

Hey, hey, they need it

You can't have it all

Where I'm coming from

You know where I'm coming from

You know where, coming from

You know where, uh, coming from

You know where I'm coming from

Now give me the band

Come on up

A little bit more

Ah, can't have it

Take some, just leave some

Take some, leave some

Don't take it all
