- Pat Benatar - Takin’ It Back Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- When they found you, you were driven and hungry
- You were playin' for your life then
- You were livin' for the chance to be heard
- What they promised, what they offered
- Was more than you'd ever hoped for
- To walk away, ya' know that would've been absurd
- And talk about absurdity, it was madness
- It was everything in excess
- It was too much, too many, and too little time
- It was faceless people in jackets and ties
- Who thought of you when they made love to their wives
- Somehow, it wasn't what you had in mind
- Chorus:
- Tell `em you're Takin' It Back
- So they might as well get used to the idea
- You're Takin' It Back, those cooperation days are over
- You got no one to blame but yourself
- So don't put it on nobody else
- Put it behind you, start over, today
- There were parties and photos and televised award shows
- And covers of magazines
- There was gold and platinum and everyone was smiling
- You were coming apart at the seems
- There were jerk offs too numerous to mention
- When everybody shared the dream
- But when it came time to share the nightmare
- They were conveniently nowhere to be seen
- (Chorus)
- Oh they'll argue what they gave you was exactly what you wanted
- And just to be fair, ya' know that some of it's true
- That's why ya' gotta be careful, `bout your wishes
- Take your time and think `em over
- Sometimes those wishes just might come true
- Tell `em you're Takin' It Back
- So they might as well get used to the idea
- You're Takin' It Back, those cooperation days are over
- Tell `em you've had enough, and if they don't like it it's tough
- You're Takin' It Back, those cooperation days are over
- You're Takin' It Back
- Tell `em you're Takin' It Back
