Take Your Dreams Back

(J. Glover/J. Dean/H. Cosby)



I heard your promises too long

I watched you do me worng

Still foolishly I waited

Hoping for the day you told me you'll repay

The love you kept away

You said that there'll be smiles,

Happiness for miles

But you were lying all the while



We said we danced to the music

Ad we walked in the sunshine, too

But you just took me for granted

And now I'm hurt because of you, whoa-oa, oh



I said if you can't follow through,

Take your dreams back, take it back

I'm tired of your lies and alibis

Take your dreams back, take it back, oh



Baby--

Oh baby, so desperately I tried

To raise love from the dead, but I grew weak instead

Now love's fading inside



A room can be forgiven

And a few hurts overlooked

But when it comes without an ending,

That's when it's time to close the book, ohh



I said if you can't follow through,

Take your dreams back, take it back

I'm tired of your lies and alibis

Take your dreams back, take it back

Oh, oh, take it back



Take it back, take it back

Here's your dreams, baby

Take it back, take it back, take it back

Here's your dreams, baby



Now I face the truth,

I know that there's some rules

Some things I never had

With good that never was

The man that never comes

Are surely ending fast



We said we danced to the music

And we walked in the sunshine, too

But you just took me from granted

And now I'm hurt because of you, oh, oh, oh



I said if you can't follow through,

Take your dreams back, take it back

I'm tired of your lies and alibis

Take your dreams back, take it back

Hey, take it back, take it back

Take your dreams back, take it back

I'm tired of your lies and alibis

Take your dreams back, take it back
