Lyrics Take It Like You Give It - Aretha Franklin

Take It Like You Give It

Baby, can I say that I’m sorry
For the things I said last night
But I’m human, too, just like you
And I don’t always do things right
And sometimes you are so very nice
But I smile and still pay the price
Now, if you love me let me see you live it
And just take it like you give it, yeah
(Take it, take it just like you give it)
Yeah, take it like you give it, yeah
(Take it, take it just like you give it)
Yeah
Baby, there’s a whole lot of people (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Who just can’t see the forest for the trees (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
And you just don’t know how sad I am (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
To think you might be one of these, hey, yeah
I wanna make up for this reason (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Whether it be wrong or right (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I’m in misery, and I know you miss me (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Undo the switch, I’d rather fight
So don’t make it hard for me to come back
And if you love me, let me see you live it
And just take it like you give it, yeah
(Take it, take it just like you give it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Take it like you give it (Take it like you give it)
Yeah, take it like you give it, yeah
(Take it, take it just like you give it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yeah, take it like you give it
