Take It Back
Babyface Toni Braxton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we do not like our story
We can write it just the way we want
Take it back to days of glory
And the moonlit nights of making love
I just need to know, you wanna go

Baby let's take it back
Baby let's take it back
I wanna get it back
Back to the way it was
Baby let's take it back
I know we can get it back
Take it back and get back to
Back to the way it was

The odds are clearly stacked against us
We've been in this storm for way too long
There are many things that will test us
But we can win this fight if we just stay strong
And I just need to know, you wanna go

So baby let's take it back
Baby let's take it back
I wanna get it back
Back to the way it was
Baby let's take it back
I know we can get it back
Take it back and get back to
Back to the way it was

So baby let's take it back
Baby let's take it back
I wanna get it back
Back to the way it was
Baby let's take it back
I know we can get it back
Take it back and get back to
Back to the way it was

Baby let's take it back
Baby let's take it back
I wanna get it back
Back to the way it was
Baby let's take it back
I know we can get it back
Take it back and get back to
Back to the way it was

Take it back to love
Let's get back to love
Take it back to love

Take it back to love




Let's get back to love
Take it back to love

Babyface is a songwriting manual.

@Kelvin29D

Personal advice, DO NOT listen to this album if you're heartbroken because it doesn't matter how emotionally strong you are it will break you to tears like a baby.
