From the recording Early

Lyrics

[A different version of this song may be found in Smooth Jazz II.]

VERSE
All this time we’ve been together
I’ve loved you so and now you want to leave
But I want you forever ’cause you gave your love to me
And you can’t have it back

VERSE
Everything we’ve been to each other
Is part of me now, and I won’t set you free
Now you say you want another, but you gave your love to me
And you can’t have it back

CHORUS
You say you can’t pretend anymore
That you still love me like you did before
Now I’m tellin’ you just what’s fiction and what’s fact
You gave your love, and you can’t have it back

VERSE
But if you must go with him
Then leave today, but one thing will always be
You can take everything but your love
’Cause you gave your love to me
And you can’t have it back

Repeat CHORUS/Melody to verse hummed with last line of verse whispered
You can’t have it back...
