You Can’t Get (Until You Learn to Start Giving) Lyrics by Rachelle Ferrell

Rachelle Ferrell

1992

1st Verse
I love you
But you don't wanna give me my just due
Oh you love me
But this "give and take" has turned into a monopoly
Chorus
You can't get until you learn to start giving (2x)
You can't get until you learn to start giving
2nd Verse
Tried to please you
But you took everything I had and I let you
Now you need me
Bet you never thought the shoe would be on the other foot, you see
Chorus
You can't get until you learn to start giving (4x)
You can't get until you learn to start giving
Bridge (keyboard solo)
3rd Verse
I was down and blue
Workin' within your limited point of view
Oh you always had your way
In matters of love, I never had a say
4th Verse
Now you don't know
That someday you'll reap exactly what you've sown
Only then, you'll see
Just what kind of pain you've given me!
Repeat Chorus
