Want It Back

Lyrics

Hearts on a string
 Like an older-fashioned phone-can
 Bang, ringy-ring
 And you think
 You're gonna get some thing you can bring to a party at your wake
 Not thinking of the thing that you pay back when you take it
 Take it
 Like rats in a cage pushed the button
 Got the shock trick snickers in your bag
 Had your number, but I lost it
 Bets are all off, you're a lily-livered giver
 Indie in the hidden costs, you're a sucker and you win
 It doesn't matter if you want it back
 You've given it away
 You've given it away
 It doesn't matter if you want it back
 You've given it away, away, away, away, away, away, oh
 He's already on the outskirts
 I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
 He says fate is not a factor
 I'm in love with every actor
 So
 Once when you're gone, and I wanna do it backwards
 Just like the song, we're addicted to the L word
 Up past your head, down your back
 Around your ankles, ready for attack
 You're upstaged
 And then you're strangled
 Cringe like you're cursed with your wrecking ball-y necklace
 I saw it first, and I crushed it with my ham fist
 High for the contest, who's the better
 Not see eye to eye to eye
 And now you're blind, and you can't catch me
 Catch me if you can
 (He's already on the outskirts)
 If you can
 (I'm still pulling on his sweatshirt)
 If you can
 (He says fate is not a factor)
 If you can
 (I'm in love with every actor)
 ♪
 It doesn't matter if you want it back
 You've given it away
 You've given it away
 It doesn't matter if you want it back
 You've given it away
 You've given it away
 He's already on the outskirts
 ♪
 I'm still pulling at his sweatshirt
 He says fate is not a factor
 I'm in love with every actor
 I will let you go if you will let some
 I will let you go if you will let somebody
 I will let you go if you will let somebody love you
 I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like
 I will let you go if you will let somebody love you like I do
