Never Take It Back - Ike

SOMETIMES YOU AIM THE WORLD AT ME WHEN I’M ONLY STANDING STILL

STICKS AND STONES GOT NOTHIN' ON THE WORDS YOU SHOOT TO KILL

SO MAYBE YOU’RE TALKIN' IN YOUR SLEEP

MAYBE I HEARD YOU WRONG

MAYBE I LIKE SUFFERING

SO YOU CAN SING ALONG

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

THIS IS NO ACT

AND THERE’S NO DOUBLE MEANING

TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE FACT

THAT ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE

YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT BACK

ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE

YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT BACK

COME ON, COME ON AND COME WITH ME

SHOW ME WHAT I HEARD

I’VE BEEN BURNED TOO MANY TIMES

BY THAT FOUR-LETTER WORD

SO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PICTURE ME

BEFORE YOU MAKE A SOUND

'CAUSE YOU OUGHTA KNOW

THAT I’M NOT FOOLIN' AROUND

YEAH

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

THIS IS NO ACT

AND THERE’S NO DOUBLE MEANING

TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE FACT

THAT ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE

YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT BACK

ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE

YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT BACK

OH NO — I CAN’T BELIEVE

OH NO — THAT YOU COULD LOVE ME

ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE

YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE THE FACT

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT
