People often talk about relationships, especially with lovers, as involving a series of difficult compromises. This song takes the opposite view, and explores the experience of an ever-deepening and more fulfilling long term love affair. Having your cake and eating it too meaning that, in this case at least, there are no compromises. Just love
lyrics
"GOT MY CAKE"
I’ve got my cake and I eat it too
Every time I make love with you
All those other lovers have come and gone
Faded like a flower while yours stayed strong
I want to tell you that you taste so good to me
You’re my love, you’re my lover
All the time we had, it don’t diminish
Our love, keeps getting stronger
So many sweet cookies and buns
A shimmering mirage of a promise to come
Hold it in your hand, but for a while
Only thing that lasts is your sweet smile
I want to tell you that you taste so good to me
You’re my love, you’re my lover
All the time we had, it don’t diminish
Our love, keeps getting stronger
You are the earth, you are the sea
You’re the only thing that’s real to me
I’ve got my cake and I’ll eat it too
Every single time I make love with you
I want to tell you that you taste so good to me
You’re my love, you’re my lover
All the time we had, it don’t diminish
Our love, keeps getting stronger
