Take It Back by Ne-Yo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe it wasn't right, girl
Want me to leave in the morning
And stay away through the night, girl
And not even think of callin' you
Difficult to admit, girl
When I'm wrong, I'm a man with pride
But if it means being by your side
I won't hesitate to apologize, girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Stupid mistakes, I'm gonna make 'em
It's gonna take a little time to get it right
Mmm, I have a habit of acting
Before I think of what could possibly happen, girl
But, but the tears in your eyes
Are telling me I really messed up this time
I wanna make it good, baby, if I could
I absolutely would just
[Chorus]
Take it back, take it back
Anything that made you cry, baby girl, if I could
Take it back, take it back
Said I'd make sure you'd never hurt again if I could
Take it back, take it back
Baby I would guarantee you would never be
Forced to hear me say, "I'm sorry" again
If I could take it back, girl
[Verse 2]
Maybe I wasn't right, girl
To tell ya that I was somewhere
That I wasn't at the other night, girl
I could of kept it real, but it was
Easier to tell a lie, girl
If I could do it all again (do it all again)
That was the way it would have been (way it would of been)
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Stupid mistakes, I'm gonna make 'em
It's gonna take a little time to get it right
Be patient with me, girl
I'll give you everything you need, girl
Stupid mistakes, I'm gonna make 'em
It's gonna take a little time to get it right
Never meant to make you cry
If I could, baby, I would
[Chorus] (x2)
Maybe it wasn't right, girl
Want me to leave in the morning
And stay away through the night, girl
And not even think of callin' you
Difficult to admit, girl
When I'm wrong, I'm a man with pride
But if it means being by your side
I won't hesitate to apologize, girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Stupid mistakes, I'm gonna make 'em
It's gonna take a little time to get it right
Mmm, I have a habit of acting
Before I think of what could possibly happen, girl
But, but the tears in your eyes
Are telling me I really messed up this time
I wanna make it good, baby, if I could
I absolutely would just
[Chorus]
Take it back, take it back
Anything that made you cry, baby girl, if I could
Take it back, take it back
Said I'd make sure you'd never hurt again if I could
Take it back, take it back
Baby I would guarantee you would never be
Forced to hear me say, "I'm sorry" again
If I could take it back, girl
