[Intro]
You, can't, get it, back
Can't, get, it, back
You (you), can't (can't), get it (get it), back (back)
Can't (can't), get (get), it (it), back (back)

[Verse 1]
Verse one, when we begun
You know you had a sister all sprung, with your tongue
I thought you were my baby now
When we lay-ed, you always knew the right words to say
We got engaged to be married the very next May

[Pre-Chorus]
As the time moved on, the love we had got torn
You used to love me from dusk to dawn
But now you tripping from night till morn'
Now you wanna change
I'm sick of you playing these games
I'm telling you one thing
You ain't getting it back, you ain't getting back this ring

[Chorus]
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
[Break]
You (you), can't (can't), get it (get it), back (back)
Can't (can't), get (get), it (it), back (back)

[Verse 2]
Verse two, now we're 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 crept
And you couldn't take the heat so you stepped
Now I'm set, don't come back for nothing that you left

[Pre-Chorus]
As the time moved on, the love we had got torn
You used to love me from dusk to dawn
But now you tripping from night till morn'
Now you wanna change
I'm sick of you playing these games
I'm telling you one thing
You ain't getting it back, you ain't getting back this ring

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
'Cause I know I can't back
All my kissing, hugging, loving when I...

[Verse 3]
Ha, ha, shake it
We had a happy enviroment, I put all this time in
I gave you my all and even met your requirements
Now you going out cheating, and you coming home smiling
You can say what you want but you ain't getting this diamond
(You ain't getting this ring back) Ha, you tiptoed
(You ain't getting this ring back) Just keep ya zip closed
(But you really think that) That you can take me for a ride
If you knock on my door like you know we're gonna collide

[Chorus]
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 (Hey!)
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
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
