I love you
But you don't wanna give me my just due
Oh you love me
But this “give and take” has turned into a monopoly

You can't get until you learn to start giving (2x)
You can't get until you learn to start giving

Tried to please you
But you took everything I had and I let you
Now you need me
Bet you never thought the shoe would be on the other foot, you see

Chorus

You can't get until you learn to start giving (4x)
You can't get until you learn to start giving

I was down and blue
Workin' within your limited point of view
Oh you always had your way
In matters of love, I never had a say

Now you don't know
That someday you'll reap exactly what you've sown
Only then, you'll see
Just what kind of pain you've given me!

Chorus
