Story Behind The Song

No back story. Just pure craft.

Song Description

He wanted her all. And he got it. First, he had her love. Then, when he stepped out on her, he got her anger -- all of it.

Lyrics

VERSE
You were lookin' at him while I was talkin' to you
You've been havin' your cake, girl, and eatin' it, too
You've been runnin' around, but, now, who's foolin' who?
The town's too small, girl; folks tellin' on you

VERSE
You took the heart I gave you so much of
And crossed your fingers when you talked about love
How can you love me when you do me like this?
You wanted it all, girl, now you got your wish

CHORUS
You got all my anger; see it in my eyes
Memories of you, girl, are a left-handed prize
Get up off your knees; now there's no need to crawl
You can't have no more, girl, 'cause you got it all

RIDE

VERSE
You had a big empire, but it crumbled down
Your appetite for everything was too big for this town
You wanted too much; you were bound to fall
Now don't worry 'bout nothin,' girl, 'cause you got it all

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE
So don't you come around here; don't do no slinkin' back
You got it all, girl, and that's a natural fact

RIDE

Repeat CHORUS

TAG
No, you can't have no more, girl, 'cause you got it all
