You talked me into moving in and giving you my key You said you'd be a mess now if it hadn't been for me You said I stole your heart away by looking in your eyes I wonder now how many times you sold that pack of lies If this is how you act when you give your heart away Well, take it back Take it back You told me I was everything you wanted and more Then tell me what you're doing now sneaking out the back door You're bringing home flowers and a bottle of Chablis You forgot I don't drink wine I know that bottle's not for me Oh, you must think I'm blind And I don't smell your new cologne You don't think I notice All the nights I spend alone Well, I'm not one for sitting 'round in some ole pity pool You think you got a ticket and I must be some kind of fool I hate to steal your thunder but your playing days are through At least they are with me cause babe, I got no use for you Tonight laying on the street Babe, your bag is packed So, take it back
