Take It Back
Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo
for me to leave in the mornin and
stay away, through the night girl
and not even think to call u
difficult to admit girl
when i'm wrong, i'm a man with pride
but if it means bein by your side
i wont hesitate to apologize girl
stupid mistakes
im gona make em
its gona take a little time to get it right
i have a habit of actin
before think whut
whut could possibly happen girl
but, but
the tears in your eyes
tellin me i realy messed up this time
i wana make it good
and baby if i could
i absolutly would just
take it back, take it back
anything that made u cry
baby girl if i could
take it back, take it back
said ill make sure ud never hurt again
if i could
take it back, take it back
baby i would gaurentee
you would never be
forced to hear me say i'm sorry again
if i could take it back girl
maybe i wasnt right girl
tell u that i was somewhere that i wasnt at
the other night girl
i coulda kept it real but it was
easier to tell a lie girl
if i could do it all again
(do it all again)
that aint the way it would have been
stupid mistakes
im gona make em
its gona take a little time to get it right
i have a habit of actin
before think whut
whut could possibly happen girl
but, but
the tears in your eyes
tellin me i realy messed up this time
i wana make it good
and baby if i could
i absolutly would just
take it back, take it back
anything that made u cry
baby girl if i could
take it back, take it back
said ill make sure ud never hurt again
if i could
take it back, take it back
baby i would gaurentee
you would never be
forced to hear me say i'm sorry again
if i could take it back girl
