  • You had me
    You lost me
    You're wasted
    You cost me
    I don't want you here messing with my mind

    Spitting in my eyes and I still see
    Tried to keep me down
    I'm breaking free
    I don't want no part in your next fix
    Someone needs to tell you this is it

    Hey listen you'll be missin'
    Out on all my love and my kissing
    Make your mistakes on your own time
    When you come down you're just no good to have around
    Instead of making money you took mine

    [Chorus:]
    You had me
    You lost me
    You're wasted
    You cost me
    I don't want you here messing with my mind
    I've realized in time
    That my eyes are not blind
    I've seen it before
    I'm taking back my life

    You tried to trade on my naivete
    But the things you do and say embarrass me
    See once upon a time I was your fool
    But the one I leave behind is you

    Hey listen you'll be missin'
    Out on all my love and my kissing
    Make your mistakes on your own time
    When you come down you're just no good to have around
    Instead of making money you took mine

    [Chorus]

    Vodka and a packet of cigarettes
    That's all it used to be but now
    You're sniffing on snow when you're feeling low
    Suffocating dreams that could have been
    Maybe for a minute I was down with that
    But it didn't take long for me to see the light
    You swore you had control of it
    But when I stepped back you slipped on your supply

    [Chorus]

    Taking it back I'm taking it back
    Taking back my life
    Taking it back I'm taking it back
    Taking back my life
    Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
    Taking it back I'm taking it back
    Taking back my life

    [Chorus]

    Taking it back I'm taking it back
    Taking back my life
    Taking it back I'm taking it back
    Taking back my life
    Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
    Taking it back I'm taking it back
    Taking back my life Writer/s: BETTY WRIGHT, FRANCIS EG WHITE, JOSS STONE, WENDY ANNE STOKER
