Nice Things - Mickey Guyton

I am priceless, don’t you know?

But you broke me even so

Oh, shiny, golden diamond rings

ADVERTISING

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
