[Intro]
Now, did you really think I'd give up everything (All of my life)
Just to hang with you (Oh yeah, baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Now I've had my bouts with love
Been going through things you never heard of
Breakin' up and gettin' back together
Faced with all kinds of stormy weather
Therе was a time I thought I'd lose my mind
But my friends and family warnеd me
Time after time after time
[Chorus]
Tell me how you gonna get something
When all you gave up was nothing
Every day, every day, every day, baby
You twisted my mind
And tell me why is it that I'm buggin'
Now that I've got everything
Every day, every way you gonna pay, baby
For dissin' my love
[Verse 2]
Now, baby, it took a few
For me to get over you
I didn't think I could make it
But my faith in God said I could shake this
Back in the day I wasn't good enough for you but
I would do anything to win you over
You took advantage of my attention
Oh, did I forget to mention
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day you did the same thing
And every hour you'd switch up on me
And every minute I'd be forgiving
And every second we'd be reliving
Every day you did the same thing
And every hour you'd switch up on me
And every minute I'd be forgiving
And every second we'd be reliving
[Chorus]
Tell me how you gonna get something
All you gave up was nothing
Every day, every day, every day, baby
(Every day, baby)
You twisted my heart
Tell me why is it that I'm buggin' (Why)
Now that I've got everything
Every day, every way you gonna pay, baby
For dissin' my love
[Bridge]
Well, it was your attitude, was much too shrewd
'Cause you took me, now who's the fool
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Well, it was your attitude, was much too shrewd
'Cause you took me, now who's the fool
(Tell me who's the fool)
Tell me how (How) you gonna get something (Something)
For nothing
Tell me how (How) you gonna get something (Something)
For nothing
Tell me how (How) you gonna get something (Something)
For nothing
Tell me how (How) you gonna get something (Something)
For nothing
[Chorus]
Tell me how you gonna get something
When all you gave up was nothing
(All you gave up)
Every day, every day, every day, baby
(Every day, yeah)
You twisted my heart
(You twisted me, baby)
Tell me why is it that I'm buggin'
Now that I've got everything
Every day, every way you gonna pay, baby (Baby, baby)
For dissin' my love (Baby, baby)
[Outro]
(Tell me how) Did you really think I'd give up everything
Now did you really think I'd give up everything (All of my life)
Just to hang with you
(Giving not receiving, just be cool and give up everything)
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Did you really think I'd give up everything just to hang, baby?)
You don't know what you're missing when you've been my lover, yeah, yeah
I don't know what I'm thinking of
(Did you really think I'd give up everything just to hang with you?)
We oughta get together sometime, talk about this thing called lovin', baby
