Lyrics

" Put It Back" written by D. CLARE


SPOKEN
I GAVE YOU ALL I HAD TO GIVE, STILL YOU WANTED MORE
YOU STOLE THE VERY HEART RIGHT OUT OF ME
I LIVED AND BREATHED AND DRESSED FOR YOU, I EVEN UNDRESSED
FOR YOU. NOW, THERE'S JUST ONE THING YOU MUST DO

VERSE 1
IT'S SO HARD TO ADMIT TO THIS MISTAKE
TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A ROYAL RAKE
AT TIMES YOU WERE SO VERY ODD
A VALENTINO, A MARQUIS DE SADE
I GOT CUT UP IN YOUR ONE-WAY GAME
I'VE GOT NO ONE ELSE BUT MYSELF TO BLAME
I'LL GET YOU BACK, SOMEDAY YOU'LL PAY
BUT FOR NOW I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT YOU'LL (CHORUS)

CHORUS
PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME
PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, MY HEART'S IN MISERY
PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME
IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO LIVE WITHOUT WHAT YOU TOOK SO EASILY

VERSE 2
YOURS IS THE KIND TO TAKE CONTROL
A THIEF OF LOVE WITHOUT A SOUL
RETURN MY HEART AND TAKE THESE BLUES
THERE'S NO USE KEEPING WHAT YOU CAN'T USE

I'VE KNOWN LOTS OF GUYS BUT YOU'RE UNIQUE
THE WAY YOU HYPNOTIZE AND YOUR MYSTIQUE
I FELL FOR YOUR SCENT, AN APHRODISIAC
BUT YOUR JUST A CLEVER KLEPTOMANIAC SO (CHORUS)

SPOKEN
THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE THAT I COULD EVER DO WOULD BE TO
SIMPLY STAY AWAY FROM YOU, BUT I CAN'T AS LONG
AS YOU HAVE THAT DIVINE PART OF WHAT WAS ONCE MINE
SO I'M ASKING YOU PLEASE, JUST PUT IT BACK !
