Mis-Teeq - Can't Get It Back lyrics

Gave you my love and I can't get it back
Gave you all my time and I can't get it back
Now the ring that you gave me
You can't have it back
'Cause it's just not going down like that
Gave you my time and I can't get it back
Gave you all my love and I can't get it back
Now the things that you gave me
You want them back
But, it's just not going down like that

Verse one, when we begun
You know you had a sister
All sprung when we hung
'Cause a brother was nice with his tongue
As we played every day
You always knew, just what to say
As we laid and planned to get
Married the very next May
As time moved on, we were torn
You used to love me from dusk 'till dawn
Now you trippin' from night till morn
You changed your soul
Till you can no longer keep me warm
'Cause the loving we shared was gone

'Cause you better know
That you can't get back
What you put in this relationship
I'm telling you so 'Cause, I can't get back
All of my kissing and hugging and loving
So I'm telling you

Gave you my love and I can't get it back
Gave you all my time and I can't get it back
Now the ring that you gave me
You can't have it back
'Cause it's just not going down like that
Gave you my time and I can't get it back
Gave you all my love and I can't get it back
(Oh, oh, oh)
Now the things that you gave me
You want them back
But, it's just not going down like that

Verse two, now we're through
Up, out my life and away love flew
And it's cool
Put the glass shoe on another young fool
'Cause, I had slept while you crept
Couldn't take the heat so away you step
Now I'm set
And don't come back for nothing that you left
I gave you my all
But, if it's too small, I can't call
'Cause every playa's got to ball
As seasons change, you couldn't hang
But, if you think you're coming
Back for this ring

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause you better know (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
That you can't get back (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What you put in this relationship
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm telling you so (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause, I can't get back (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
All of my kissing and hugging and loving
So I'm telling you

Gave you my love and I can't get it back
Gave you all my time and I can't get it back
Now the ring that you gave me
You can't have it back
'Cause it's just not going down like that
(Oh oh oh)
Gave you my time and I can't get it back
(Oh oh oh)
Gave you all my love and I can't get it back
(No, you can't)
Now the things that you gave me
You want them back (You can't)
But, it's just not going down like that
(You can't have it, no)

Now let me tell you something 'bout me
I don't need no lying man standing next to me
Gonna expose the jo-jokes
The cheatings and no no
And if you say "Suck me one more time"
Then I'm gonna flip back to when I came from
Where people on the streets tell
Me you've done wrong
Twenty for the ride if you wanna play hard
Tonight if I tap I don't forget
Any time you come around you take what's mine
The ring on my finger meant for a lifetime
Don't worry yourself 'cause I
Am past your kind i'm too smart for you, I'm
Gonna shine for life, that's right!

Get out, out, out, out, out, out
No you can't have it back, silly rabbit

Gave you my love and I can't get it back
Gave you all my time and I can't get it back
Now the ring that you gave me
You can't have it back (Oh oh oh)
'Cause it's just not going down like that
Gave you my time and I can't get it back
Gave you all my love and I can't get it back
Now the things that you gave me
You want them back
'Cause it's just not going down like that
