You can’t have your cake and eat it too

You can’t have it both ways, you can’t have your neccesity and your desire. Needs & wants.

Kevin has a wife but still wants to have relations with his friend Samantha...

You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

I like to have my cake and eat it too

Friends with benifits, but one of them wants the commitment and the other doesn't.

It means that like for a gurl, she likes the guy, but won't commit to him, but at the same time doesn't want him to leave. Same defintion for a guy as well.

This quote is in the Andre Nickatina song, Conversations of the Devil.

.."Meanin That I Like To Have My Cake And Eat It Too....She Said " Do You Want A Drink Nicky Baby" Yeah!... " Do You Want Me To Get It For You Baby?"

You can't have your cake and eat it too

An expression basically meaning that you can only have it so good, and you can't have it all.

An good example is if a situation is bittersweet.

Sara was sad that the guy whom had gotten very close to her in the past 3 years which she held a secret fondness for developed an interest in her best friend, Clare. In conversation with Clare, Sara explained the situation, to which Clare responded.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."

You can't have your cake and eat it too

you cant enjoy what is yours. you can work or you can enjoy.

example:
you work really hard and finish a report, someone else takes credit.

or

you have a gorgeous girlfriend whom only others enjoy in bed.

you enjoy fishing and eating fish, you catch a fish, but your wife eats it.

she says "You can't have your cake and eat it too"
