"take it back"
it started so slowly, i remember when i met you. you were hangin at a friend of mines', just before your last year of school. i think i got beer on your dress. after the keg yo i was a mess. but we started talkin seriosly, thats when you really opened up to me. and she was sayin, "he don't want me, yea he don't know me, its not that i want it this way." and she was sayin, "you cant have me, you know i'm still with him, but lets hear what you got to say." thats when you got to take it back, yea you got to take it back. stop stessin' when the lovin's bad. yea you got to take it back. well i felt the connection. i was feelin we were on the same page. well i die in your direction. funny how a song could kill my rage. but things change with time now, school was over now your on your way. you'll be headin to a brand new town, yea. you packed your things and came by to say. well she was sayin', "please don't worry, you know i'll still call you, its not that i want it this way. and she was sayin please dont worry you know i still love you, yea we'll meet again some day. that's when she had to take it back. yea she had to take it back. she stopped stressin' bout the love we had. yea she had to take it back. yo i remember the time we used to watch the sunset yo drunk as hell and yo i'd never forget, you and me on the beach with champane in the sand. love and respect we flow hand in hand but now your leavin me, and whats all that, what kind of love is the love that you gotta take back i gotta realize you gotta do what you gotta do, if things were reversed i could be leavin you. but when the night starts dancin' you start romancin' we turn out the light for hot tounge lashin', where ever you go i'll always love you, i know we couldn't stay together but i wanted to.
