You get it back
You can't get it back
You get it back

You can't get it back

Verse one, when we begun

You know you had a sister all sprung
With your tongue
I thought you were my babe but no


When we laid
You always knew the right words to say

We got engaged
To be married the very next May


As the time moved on
The love we had got torn
You used to love me from dusk 'til dawn

But now you're trippin' from night 'til morn

Now you want me to change

I'm sick of you playin' these games
I'm tellin' you one thing
You wont get it back

You won't get it back, this ring

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
'Cos it's just not goin' 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 goin' down like that


You get it back
You can't get it back


Verse two, now were through
Too much time's been wasted on you
But it's cool

Put the glass shoe on another young fool

I accept that you cramped

And you couldn't take the heat
So you stamped, now upset
Don't come back for nothin' that you left


As the time moved on
The love we had got torn

You used to love me from dusk 'til dawn
But now you're trippin' from night 'til morn


Now you want me to change
I'm sick of you playin' these games
I'm tellin' you one thing

That you wont get it back
You won't get it back, this ring


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

'Cos it's just not goin' 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 goin' down like that


Boy, let me tell you this
Don't you know you can't get back

What you put in this relationship?
That includes this ring
'Cos I know I can't get back

All my kissin', huggin', lovin', [Incomprehensible]

We had a happy environment, I put on this diamond
I gave you my all and even met your requirements
Now you're goin' out, cheatin' and you're comin' up smilin'

You can say what you want but you ain't gettin' this diamond

You ain't gettin' this ring back, you tiptoed
You been livin' a stranger, just keep ya zipped closed
Did you really think that, that you can take me for a ride?

If you knock on my door, you know we're gonna collide

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

'Cos it's just not goin' 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 goin' down like that

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
'Cos it's just not goin' 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 goin' down like that
