I Can Have Both - Morrissey

Staring in the window of the shop that never opens

Planning my selection from all the treats inside

Should I take as I desire — oh shall I, oh shall I?

Or should I hang around to be enticed inside?

I’m trying to explain to myself

I can have both

I’m trying to explain to the voice inside

I can have both

I can have both

There’s nobody around to say no Who’ve brain-washed the small shy boy inside

He doesn’t know he can have both

Smiling through the window to the one who never serves you

I’ve not been feeling myself tonight

Should I take as I feel like it — well shall I, oh shall I?

Or should I wait and hope to be dragged inside?

Oh …

I’m trying to explain to myself

I can have both

I’m trying to explain to the voice inside

I can have both

I can have both

There’s nobody around to say no Who’ve brain-washed the small shy boy inside

He doesn’t know he can have both

I can have both

There’s no need to choose

Because

I can have both

There’s no need to choose

I can have both

There’s no need to choose

Because

I can have both

There’s no need to choose

I can have both

There’s no need to choose
