[Chorus]
That's how it was right from the start
I gave you my all, you gave me a part
[Verse 1]
Ooh, that part you gave me (That part you gave me, yeah)
Wasn't really a part of you
Made me do things I never thought I'd do
Now you're asking me to come back to you (Back to you)
I can't make that move
Oh, to you
Misuse a love, will abuse a love that I gave to you, yeah
Misuse the trust, the love in us that I saved for you
[Chorus]
And that's how it was, ooh, right
(That's how it was right from the start)
I gave you my all, you only
(I gave you my all, you gave me a part)
Oh, listen to me
[Verse 2]
How do you explain this?
This hold you have on me
Can't seem to shake myself free
Now you're telling me
I'm what you need (I'm what you need)
Just what you need, oh (Just what you need, yeah)
Oh, for you
(Misuse a love, abuse a love that I gave to you)
You're sure I cried, [?]
Misuse, abuse, that I gave to you, oh (Misuse a love, abuse a love that I gave to you)
[Chorus]
Oh, that's how it was, how it was
(That's how it was right from the start)
Oh, I gave you my all, you
(I gave you my all, you gave me a part)
Oh, that's how it was, that it was right
(That's how it was right from the start)
Oh, I gave you my all
