[Intro]
This song right here is to that, that, that, that person
I won't even gonna mention his name
That said I couldn't do nothing without him
Mmm

[Verse 1]
Who are you to tell me that I can't go on without you?
And why you tellin' me I'm never gon' survive?
Mmm, but once upon a time, yes, I believed that lie (Oh Lord)
But sorry, no way, no how, you can't control my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, 'cause if I thought you were the end all, and my be all
I woulda never left you alone, and I wouldn't be on my own
And I never, never would've grown, mmm

[Chorus]
Nah, nah, nah, ain't no way
You gon' take away my joy, my peace, my strength, mhm
Nah, nah, nah, ain't no way
You gon' take away my joy, my peace, my strength, yeah

[Verse 2]
Thank you for the times of all the pain you gave me
The hate you showed to me taught me how to love myself
It's funny how you tried to break down my pride, and my spirit, y'all
It doesn't even matter now 'cause I done moved on with my life (My life)
[Pre-Chorus]
If I thought you were the end all, and my be all
I woulda never left you alone, and I wouldn't be on my own
And I never woulda wrote this song

[Chorus]
Nah, nah, nah, ain't no way
You gon' take away my joy, my peace, and my strength, mmm
Nah, nah, nah, ain't no way
You gon' take away my joy, my peace, and my strength

[Bridge]
Nah, ain't no way
Nah, no way, no way, oh no, no
No way, no way, no way, no, yeah, yeah
I'm telling you, telling you
You can't take away my joy

[Outro]
'Cause if I thought you were the end all, and my be all
I woulda never left you alone, I wouldn't be on my own (Nah)
I never woulda found peace, I never woulda loved again
If I thought you were my end all, and my be all
(I never) I never woulda found peace (Never woulda found peace)
I never woulda loved again (I never woulda loved)
I never woulda wrote this song
Oh no, talk about it, talk about it
Talk about, talk about (Can't take way my joy)
My joy, my joy, my joy (No)
(I'm telling you) Telling you
(Can't take away, can't take away my joy)
My joy, joy, joy (My joy), joy, joy, joy
Can't take away my joy
My, my, my, my joy, joy
