Pat Benatar - Takin' It Back Lyrics
When they found you, you were driven and hungryYou were playin for your life thenYou were livin for the chance to be heardWhat they promised, what they offeredWas more than youd ever hoped forTo walk away, ya know that wouldve been absurdAnd talk about absurdity, it was madnessIt was everything in excessIt was too much, too many, and too little timeIt was faceless people in jackets and tiesWho thought of you when they made love to their wivesSomehow, it wasnt what you had in mindChorus:Tell `em youre takin it backSo they might as well get used to the ideaYoure takin it back, those cooperation days are overYou got no one to blame but yourselfSo dont put it on nobody elsePut it behind you, start over, todayThere were parties and photos and televised award showsAnd covers of magazinesThere was gold and platinum and everyone was smilingYou were coming apart at the seemsThere were jerk offs too numerous to mentionWhen everybody shared the dreamBut when it came time to share the nightmareThey were conveniently nowhere to be seen(chorus)Oh theyll argue what they gave you was exactly what you wantedAnd just to be fair, ya know that some of its trueThats why ya gotta be careful, `bout your wishesTake your time and think `em overSometimes those wishes just might come trueTell `em youre takin it backSo they might as well get used to the ideaYoure takin it back, those cooperation days are overTell `em youve had enough, and if they dont like it its toughYoure takin it back, those cooperation days are overYoure takin it backTell `em youre takin it backFrom the album tropicoWritten by: niel geraldo & pat giraldo
