You can't do everything at once but you can do anything you want
Your autonomy can't be brought into question by anything
'til you turn around and say that every year is like a day
And you have given it away, you give it all away, you give itAnd now everything at once becomes the only thing that you want
You're a diffident man and your plans will not be executed
And the life that you believed you'd lead is starting to recede
And you have given it away, you give it all away, you give it awayWhen enough is enough and it's all too much for anyone
When you're out on your own, everybody's in love
When you push and you shove and you've got to keep the pressure on
All you need is some love and a way to get homeYou can't do everything at once but when you try to pick only one
All the others coming running until you're busy doing nothing
And another day is done and there's another setting sun
And you have given it away, you give it all away, you give it awayWhen enough is enough and it's all too much for anyone
When you're out on your own, everybody's in love
When you push and you shove and you've got to keep the pressure on
All you need is some love and a way to get homeAnd I wanna be us, I don't wanna be them
And I wanna be now, I don't wanna be then
And I wanna be real, I don't want to pretend
And I want to begin, I don't want it to end
And I want it to start, I don't want it to break
And I want it to mend, I don't want to be fake
And I want it to give, wanna give it away
Wanna give it away, wanna give it awayYou can't do everything at once but you can do anything you want
Your autonomy can't be brought into question by anything
'til you turn around and say that every year is like a day
And you have given it away, you give it all away, you give itWhen enough is enough and it's all too much for anyone
When you're out on your own, everybody's in love
When you push and you shove and you've got to keep the pressure on
All you need is some love and a way to get home
