Lyrics

TAKING MY LIFE BACK

I don’t know why I keep hitting the play and then repeat
You’re up in my jam - and then - suddenly, you retreat

One minute you’re begging me while you fall down on you knees
And then the next you've floatied off with the breeze

I may need a lover that’s a little more reliable
Although the time we spent together was so undeniable

Your time is up … I’ve had enough, not even if you plead
There’s got to be a better way for my heart to beat

1st chorus:

So wave bye-bye, won’t hear me cry, my pillow is nice and dry
You tried to use me up and then you act like it’s alright

I could be anyone’s lover, so baby ya better stop talking’ smack
It’s true respect that you lack … I’m taking my life back!

***

So I moved on and it’s exciting what is showing up for me
I’m tasting other lips and having delicious fantasies

Don’t show up unannounced, cuz I’ll be the one whose playing it cool
You know this lady ain’t your fool ... I'm sending you back to school

Next time you see me with all those potentials that wanna be with me
Just keep on walking cause tonight is the night I’ve set you free

I’m through with this and giving you the attention (you say) that you need
There’s got to be a better way for my heart to beat

***

2nd chorus:

So wave bye-bye, won’t hear me cry, my pillow is nice and dry
You tried to use me up and then you act like it’s alright

I could be anyone’s lover, so baby ya better stop talking’ smack
It’s loving kindness that you lack … I’m taking my life back!

GUITAR MUSICAL BRIDGE

3rd chorus:

So wave bye-bye, won’t hear me cry, my pillow is nice and dry
You tried to use me up and then you act like it’s alright

I could be anyone’s lover, so baby ya better stop talking’ smack
A gentleman, you ain’t that … I’m taking my life back!
I'm taking my life back

Bye-bye!
