Two Thirds

A friend once told me

Isn't it enough

Two thirds of the cake

The road is always rough

And I just heard her talking

There was nothing I could say

Because I don't want it

If I can't have it all the way

She said if he loves you a little

You can make up for the rest

You can still have it good

Even if it ain't the best

And I could see her talking

But all I heard that day

Was a heart so slowly breaking

For two-thirds of the way

If there's not enough in me to love

Yet more of me than he would like

I'd run for the hills

I'd take another bite

Honey I want the whole cake

And I want it every day

If he can only love a little

Don't stay another day

Don't you stay

For two-thirds of the way

For me the love is sacred

It's a world for just us two

A place where nothing matters

Except our love is true

Maybe it's enough to make you happy

Who am I to say

I'd just know I'd never want it

Two-thirds of the way

If there's not enough in me to love

Yet more of me than he would like

I'd run for the hills

I'd take another bite

Honey I want the whole cake

And I want it every day

If he can only love a little

Don't stay another day

Don't you stay

For two-thirds of the way
