[Intro: Spoken]

To my heart

To my car

To my crib

To my kids

Everything


[Verse 1]

Never thought you bring me so much pain

Lord knows I tried to keep you happy girl in every way

Out on the road doing my thang

Trying to keep you laced

Trying to keep a smile upon your face girl

Was all my happiness in vain?

Or did I place in you a little too much faith?

Now nothing but memories

Never though that this would be

The price I had to pay


[Chorus]

You took my heart (yes you did)

You took my car (yes)

You took my crib, yes, you did (yes you did)

Got the nerve to take my kids

Got the nerve to take my kids

Took my love (all my love)

And my life (all my life)

Girl, you took my soul (all of my soul)

Taking everything from me

Taking everything from me

You took my heart, girl, you took my car

And you took my crib, tryin' to take my kids

Girl, you took my love, then you took my soul

Taking everything, everything, everything, everything

Everything!


[Verse 2]

And now I'm sitting all alone

Trying to figure out where you and I went wrong

You know it makes me wanna cry

Just thinking about it makes me wanna

Lay down and die

For the life of me I don't know how

That you could take for granted

And disregard our sacred vows

Now nothing but memories

Never though that this would be

The price I had to pay


[Chorus]

You took my heart

Girl, you took my, my car

Tryin' to take my crib, girl

You got the nerve to take my kids

Got the nerve to take my kids

And take my love, love, love, love

And my life, girl, you took my soul, yeah

Taking everything from me

Taking everything from me

You took my heart, my car

My car

(Crib) my crib, my, my kids, my kids

My love, soul

Everything, everything, everything, everything

Everything!!


[Bridge]

Now I ain't never been no fool

I've always tried to keep my cool

I was faithful and true, never bruised you or used you

Even though sometimes you make me want to

But I loved you

You should try to understand, girl, I was your man

My life was in your hands, baby, my love

Was shinning over there but this wasn't part of your plan

No, no, no, no

What about the plans we had?

Now you're gone and I'm just gonna be a weekend dad, baby

Can I call you baby? Or is that just a passing thing, babe

Listen to this sad song I sing, yeah

What about the ring? What about the ring?


[Chorus]

Oh, ho!!

Now you going away in my car

Girl, you can have the crib

But won't you give me back my kids?

How am I supposed to live?

Oh baby, without love, without love, babe

She given me (my life)

All my life, all my life I'd thought we'd live forever

Said we'd be together

And you would never, never, never, never, never never, never, ever, ever, leave, me

Take my

Heart, crib, cars, kids, love, life, souls from me

My cars, heart, crib, kids, my kids and now

You would never, never, never leave me, oh (my heart)

Cars

Crib, my kids

My love, life

Every

You took everything
