What You Give

You want me to know, but don't explain
So now I've gotta let you go
Cause I'm not down with playing games
Oh baby, uh oh

If you wanna be with me you need
To show me through the things you do
And I'll do the same thing back to you
If you wanna see good things from me
You need to do what I want you to
That's how you've got to live
You get back what you give

What you give, what you give, what you give
What you give, what you give, what you give

You want me back, but there's no way
Unless you're gonna tell the truth
I don't read signs, you need to say
What you wanna do, oh

If you wanna be with me you need
To show me through the things you do
And I'll do the same thing back to you
If you wanna see good things from me
You need to do what I want you to
That's how you've got to live
You get back what you give

What you give, what you give, what you give
What you give, what you give, what you give

I need to know if you heard my advice
Cause it's happened to me once or twice
I need to know if you'll follow through
With the things I'm telling you to do

If you wanna be with me you need
To show me through the things you do
And I'll do the same thing back to you
If you wanna see good things from me
You need to do what I want you to
That's how you've got to live
You get back what you give

If you wanna be with me you need
To show me through the things you do
And I'll do the same thing back to you
If you wanna see good things from me
You need to do what I want you to
That's how you've got to live
You get back what you give

What you give, what you give, what you give
What you give, what you give, what you give
