  • (Yeah) oh
    (Yeah)

    I feel you crumble in my arms down to your heart of stone
    You bled me dry just like the tears you never show
    Why don't you take what you want from me?
    Take what you need from me
    Take what you want and go
    Why don't you take what you want from me?
    Take what you need from me
    Take what you want and go

    I never needed anything from you
    And all I ever asked was for the truth (all I ever asked was for)
    You showed your tongue, and it was forked in two
    Your venom was lethal, I almost believed you (almost believed you)
    Yeah, you preyed on my every mistake
    Waited on me to break, held me under hopin' I would drown
    Like a plague, I was wasting away
    Tryna find my way out, find my way out (find my way out)

    And it finally came the day
    I start giving my heart away
    For Heaven's sakes, my bones will break
    But you never own my soul, no

    I feel you crumble in my arms down to your heart of stone
    You bled me dry just like the tears you never show
    Why don't you take what you want from me?
    Take what you need from me
    Take what you want and go
    Why don't you take what you want from me?
    Take what you need from me
    Take what you want and go

    I took them stones you threw, made chains for the crew (ice)
    I brought up ten hoes, this coupe only made for two (yessir)
    They all ran through it, it ain't nothing left to do
    I need some more reasons to live out this evening (straight up)
    I've been sippin' forever and just taking whatever
    Hoping, thinking whenever you'll be back around
    Let's go our ways, whichever
    You say how is however long
    'Cause you know I never be alone

    Love (yeah)
    Shorty gon' back (shorty gon' back)
    Need it on sight (need it on sight)
    Crack it all back (crack it all back)
    Give her that pipe (give her that pipe)
    All of my cash (all of my cash)
    Shawty went bad (shawty went bad)

    I feel you crumble in my arms down to your heart of stone
    You bled me dry just like the tears you never show
    Why don't you take what you want from me?
    Take what you need from me
    Take what you want and go
    Why don't you take what you want from me?
    Take what you need from me
    Take what you want and go

    Take it all away
    Why don't you (take what you want, take what you need?)
    Take what you need from me, yeah
    (Take what you want)
    Why don't you (take what you need?)
    (What you need, yeah) Writer/s: Andrew Wotman, Austin Richard Post, Billy Walsh, Jacques Webster, John Osbourne, Louis Russell Bell
