Never Take It Back Lyrics

Ike Never Take It Back

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
