Take Your Dreams Back

(J. Glover/J. Dean/H. Cosby)

I heard your promises too long
I watched you do me worng
Still foolishly I waited
Hoping for the day you told me you'll repay
The love you kept away
You said that there'll be smiles,
Happiness for miles
But you were lying all the while

We said we danced to the music
Ad we walked in the sunshine, too
But you just took me for granted
And now I'm hurt because of you, whoa-oa, oh

I said if you can't follow through,
Take your dreams back, take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back, take it back, oh

Baby--
Oh baby, so desperately I tried
To raise love from the dead, but I grew weak instead
Now love's fading inside

A room can be forgiven
And a few hurts overlooked
But when it comes without an ending,
That's when it's time to close the book, ohh

I said if you can't follow through,
Take your dreams back, take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back, take it back
Oh, oh, take it back

Take it back, take it back
Here's your dreams, baby
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Here's your dreams, baby

Now I face the truth,
I know that there's some rules
Some things I never had
With good that never was
The man that never comes
Are surely ending fast

We said we danced to the music
And we walked in the sunshine, too
But you just took me from granted
And now I'm hurt because of you, oh, oh, oh

I said if you can't follow through,
Take your dreams back, take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back, take it back
Hey, take it back, take it back
Take your dreams back, take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back, take it back
