"A Cake Without Icing" Lyrics

A Cake Without Icing. Copyright. Words and music by Xanthe Littlemore

1) My train done left me, done left me by the track
My train done left me, done left me by the track
Tell those folks at Narrow Mind that I ain't never ever comin' back

2) What I been livin' for, living for - just for life?
What I been livin' for, living for - just for life?
There's got to be something much more important justifying all this strife

Ch) Cz it's a one step backward dance
Love without romance
A gig with broken strings
A cake without icing

3) Lord I'm so tired of sittin' here alone by myself
It's kind of gettin' awful boring and I want somebody here by my side
So if you don't step with me in my footsteps I will be weary

Ch) Cz it's a drippin' kitchen tap
A trip without a map
A tangled ball of string
A cake without icing

Yes and it's a one step backward dance
Love without romance
A queen without a king
A cake without icing
