Nice Things
I am priceless, don't you know?
But you broke me even so
Oh, shiny, golden diamond rings
Your momma always said, you can't have nice things
Held me tightly as you dared
And when I cried out, you did not care
You stole my heart and bent my wings
Your momma always said, you can't have nice things
Oh, little boy with all your toys out in the yard
I gave you the moon, but you had to have the stars
Took 'em from the sky and you left them in the dark
'Til they rusted right through
Precious memories gone like that
You can't ever buy them back
No you cannot afford these dreams
Like momma always said, you can't have nice things
You can't keep me a lock and key
Just to satisfy your needs
Oh, don't you know why the caged bird sings?
Like momma always said you can't have nice things
Your momma always said you can't have nice things
But you broke me even so
Oh, shiny, golden diamond rings
Your momma always said, you can't have nice things
Held me tightly as you dared
And when I cried out, you did not care
You stole my heart and bent my wings
Your momma always said, you can't have nice things
Oh, little boy with all your toys out in the yard
I gave you the moon, but you had to have the stars
Took 'em from the sky and you left them in the dark
'Til they rusted right through
Precious memories gone like that
You can't ever buy them back
No you cannot afford these dreams
Like momma always said, you can't have nice things
You can't keep me a lock and key
Just to satisfy your needs
Oh, don't you know why the caged bird sings?
Like momma always said you can't have nice things
Your momma always said you can't have nice things
