Give & Take 02:46
It's a little thing called a give and take You takin' all you want, until I break yeah I break, oh i break some people give love, while others just hate oh they hate, oh they hate you better change your ways, fore its too late its too late, you know its too late all this time I thought I'd paid my dues instead of walkin' lone, I'd walk with you wish I knew then, what I know is true cause I would've never fucked around with you oooooh....Give & Take So if I give you something, give it back give it back, baby, give it back It's a two way street, baby hit the track Hit the track and don't look back tried to be your man, take a stand take a stand, baby, take a stand But you didn't want that you wouldn't hold my hand hold my hand, baby, hold my hand all this time I thought I'd paid my dues instead of walkin' lone, I'd walk with you wish I knew then, what I know is true cause I would've never messed around with you Oooooh.....Give & Take

I used to feel good then it happened to me I had my love take a plane and leave she said that, "You're not the kind of man that I need you to be" So late at night instead of sleep I lie in my bed, grittin' my teeth dreaming, bout the way I used to be And I wonder will I ever, will I ever ever be the same? And I wonder will I ever Will I ever have anybody else, but myself to blame? And so I lay here at night, and I dont feel right Man I dont understand, I'm the maladjusted man My heart it yearns, I dont have no choice You took away my voice, left my such an awful void I thought that we'd last forever I thought that our love would make it through But then you got a taste of betrayal and there was nothing I could do And I wonder will I ever, will I ever ever be the same? And I wonder will I ever Will I ever have anybody else, but myself to blame? And so I lay here at night, and I dont feel right Man I dont understand, I'm the maladjusted man My heart it yearns, I dont have no choice You took away my voice, left my such an awful void And all of this time I thought there's nothing I could do yeah it depends on you then you went away and there was nothing more to say and baby and dont need you And so I lay here at night, and I dont feel right Man I dont understand, I'm the maladjusted man My heart it yearns, I dont have no choice You took away my voice, left my such an awful void

If you do just what you're told you'll never win you'll always be sold If you do the things you're told But if you do the things you like You'll never lose, you'll always be right if you do the things you like So, I propose a plan you and me we could walk across the land Yeah we could quit our jobs, sell our things, and pawn our cars Yeah You should do the things you like

Girl it aint right the way you make a man feel when you hold him too tight he can not be alone can't be alone without you, without you, no no Well it aint no joke but yeah you laugh all the time, with a pinch and poke he can not be alone can't be alone without you, without you, no no Well it aint right the way you keep him locked up so tight you'd better loosen up on yer reigns he needs space to roam but he can't be alone without you Well It's an awful twist of fate when he leaves you behind there aint no dinner on his plate he cannot be alone Cant be alone without you, without you, no no Well it aint right the way you keep him locked up so tight you'd better loosen up on yer reigns he needs space to roam but he can't be alone without you
9.
Well I think its time I made a change I drink to sleep at the end of the day chasing memories with a salt and a lime here's to you babe we had some good times, but I believe it, I believe it I believe its time to change I light up one more cigarette I'm filling my lungs with a chemical regret smoke makes it hard to sleep at night I aint alright, you know I aint alright I believe it, I believe it I believe its time to change I won't be defeated, won't repeat it I believe its time to change Well I think its time I sobered up I've been drinking for the better of a month but cleaning up aint so easy to do when giving up already gave up on you I believe it, I believe it I believe its time to change I won't be defeated, won't repeat it I believe its time to change
10.
I saw a man with two tears in his eyes one for his woman, the other one for his pride and I just stood by so many of us are taking a ride so many of us will sit and let the stops pass by on train that never arrives Cause on the Train of sorrow you will ride You're waitin' while your life it done passed ya by Well I aint ever gonna take that ride Cause on the train of sorrow You will die I saw a girl on that train she got off and she walked in the rain and I came up to her with umbrella in hand "how would ya like it if I kept ya dry?" she said "you aint the first to try" and I noticed a dead look in her eye Cause on the Train of sorrow you will ride You're waitin' while your life it done passed ya by Well I aint ever gonna take that ride Cause on the train of sorrow You will die
