Lyrics

I was told when I was young
not to ask a lot
to try and learn to compromise
be happy with what I've got
and so I learned to live that way
it seemed the thing to do
but if I can't have everything
how come I have you?

I lived without ambition
and never tried to fight
content with my decision
that what I did was right
but now I have begun to doubt
that what they said was true
for if I can't have everything
how come I have you

When you're around you make the world seem brighter
your smile can make the darkest day seem lighter, lighter, lighter

And everybody tells me
you're too good to be true
so if I can't have everything
how come I have you?
