You only come around here when you need a shoulder to cry on
You lost another love and I’m the only one you rely on
I’ll be a friend, when your heart is battered and reeling
But you gotta understand, love is more than a feeling
So honey take a break, you can’t take anymore
You can take the cake, but who’s keeping score
If you love yourself, give a little ground
Give it all away, it’ll come back around
Giving and taking, sounds so basic and simple
But they’re not what they seem when you’re trying to light love’s candle
If give more than you take, you won’t ever run out of nothing
Love’ll fill you up, spilling from your cup over-running
So honey take a break, you can’t take anymore
You can take the cake, but who’s keeping score
If you love yourself, and give a little ground
If you give it all away, it’ll come back around
I know you work real hard, you’ve earned everything that you got now
Lost your peace of mind, or maybe just simply forgot how
When you’re always taking, you think everybody’s out to get ya,
But if you give it all up, you’re a river to your people forever
So honey take a break, you can’t take anymore
You can take the cake, but who’s keeping score
If you love yourself, spread it all around
And give it all away, it’ll come back around
So honey take a break, I can’t take anymore
You can take the cake, but who’s keeping score
If you love yourself, spread it all around
Gotta give it all away, it’ll come back around
If you give it all away, it’ll come back around
