Cause I can't live without you
Girl I can't live without you
Cause I can't live without you
Girl I can't live without you
Cause I can't live without you
(Now I need you back in my zone)
Girl I can't live without you
(Cause I actually thought I could cope on my own)
Cause I can't live without you
(Now I need you back in my zone)
Girl I can't live without you
(Sky high, Strydez)

Yo
If you take me back, I will pay you back
And pack a room full of the latest swag
I'll make you look cool in some new brand tags
She's like, 'Money won't take me back'
So I gave her my heart, open it up, don't tear it apart
Walk in, don't be afraid of the dark
Some make up flex then give it to me hard
She's like 'Don't make me laugh'
Time might pass, but that don't mean I can forget the past
That don't mean I can forget the last time you were creepin' around in cars
Me, I'm skilled, I creep around with class
Still, admit I'm wrong through bars
And if you say no I would deal with that
I'm hoping you'll take me back, flea

I'm sorry I misleaded you, pretty lady
I'm sorry I mistreated you, pretty lady
I'm sorry that I hurt you, pretty lady
Now all I need to know is

[Repeat: x8]
Can you take me back? 

Cause I can't live without you
Girl I can't live without you

It's peak to let me on a remix
Ain't cheap to get me on a remix
(Sway) I'm an animal right, so call animal rights right now cause I read chicks
Can't leave me, I leave chicks
Can't easily jet like G ticks
I introduced you to Jimmy Choo shoes, and now you wanna try and get cheap kicks
But I did warn you, no Facebook
Cause all the girls wanna have me in their pics
You're mad all them girls wanna add me to their friends
Invites to events then they tag me in the pics
Stop acting up, I'm embarrassed
Go pack your stuff, we're in Paris
Don't forget that I met you in Primark
Now you wanna do hype in Harrods

I'm sorry I misleaded you, pretty lady
I'm sorry I mistreated you, pretty lady
I'm sorry that I hurt you, pretty lady
Now all I need to know is

[Repeat: x8]
Can you take me back? 

Cause I can't live without you
Girl I can't live without you

Hey yo Strydez!
Had a chick that could skank, and pose, and flirt
Then I found out she's dirt
Now I treat girls like a verse
They ain't hard for me to merk
No chick can leave me stressed
Gimme God, gimme money, I'm blessed
I can't lie I used to F my ex
Now I'm on a Sway ting, F my ex
Not as in sex, but I mean forget
She wasn't right, and that's why I left
Verse like this, she'd want me dead
But I'm a good guy, I wish all the best
Yo Tinchy, I'm lovin' this track
But shit, I'm pulling Miss back
And it's some endless talk on this track
But I don't wanna take you back, ha ha

I'm sorry I misleaded you, pretty lady
I'm sorry I mistreated you, pretty lady
I'm sorry that I hurt you, pretty lady
Now all I need to know is

[Repeat: x8]
Can you take me back? 

Cause I can't live without you
