Taking Everything Lyrics By Gerald Levert

    spoken
    to my heart
    to my car
    to my crib
    to my kids
    everything

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
