[Verse 1]
I think I'll go it alone
You should've shown me if you cared
Lies will turn a heart into stone
Few would have known me if they dared
[Chorus 1]
Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape, the place on the sand
I'd take it all back, if it'd just make you understand
[Verse 2]
Girl, how I've tried to forget you
Now it would take more than I could buy
Sure I could lie to myself too
But that won't work, seeing that I've tried
[Chorus 2]
Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
I'd live in a shack eating out of a can
I'd take it all back, if it'd just make you understand
[Verse 3]
Now that I'm feeling assured
You'd better watch your every move
Stop, think about every word
It's looking like you're going to lose
[Chorus 1 (reprise)]
Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape, the place on the sand
I'd take it all back, if it'd just make you understand
[Outro]
Still, you should've shown me if you cared
You should've shown me if you cared
Still, you should've shown me if you cared
You should've shown me if you cared...
