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 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 not going down like that



Verse one when we begun

You know you have a sista on sprung

When we hung

Cause a brotha 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've changed your song

To 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 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 of 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 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 not going down like that



Verse two, now we're through

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

Can't take the heat so away you step

Now upset

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 playas got to ball

As seasons change

You couldn't hang

But if you think your coming back for this ring



Then 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 it back

All 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 of 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 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 not going down like that



Now let me tell you something 'bout me

I don't need no

No lying man standing next to me

Gonna expose the do-dos, the cheating's a no-no

And if you say something one more time

Then I'm gonna flip back to where I came from where

People on the street's tell me you've done wrong

Penny for the rabbit if you wanna play hard

Don't like tit-for-tat- I don't forget anytime

You come around and take what's mine

The ring on my finger meant for a lifetime

Don't worry yourself cos I am past your kind

I'm too smart for you I'm gonna shine for life

That's right



Get out

Owwww, Owwww

Owwww, Owwww

No you can't have it back, silly rabbit



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 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 of 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 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 not going down like that
