Takin' Back My Heart
Cher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

'm all through with lovin' you
Wasting my precious time on you
Gonna walk away, walk out
Kiss this love goodbye
Ain't no words you're gonna say
Gonna change my mind
I don't deserve all the hurt
Won't put up with the pain
Been too many lies baby
Too many games

So I'm taking back my heart
Talkin' back my heart, yeah
Repossessin' my affection
Takin' back my heart
Because baby, baby, baby
Don't belong to you no more
What did I ever see in you?
How could I be so blind a fool?

Gonna walk away, walk out
Take my love and leave
Gonna save it up for somebody
Who really loves me
You don't deserve me around
And now I'm gonna go
Kiss me goodbye baby

I'm out the door
Takin' back my heart
Takin' back my heart yeah
Repossessin' repossessin' my affection
Oh yeah takin' back my heart
Because baby, baby, baby
Don't belong to you no more
Givin' up all the pain
Packin' up all my pride
I've got one word to say
And that word is goodbye
If you'd just realized?
Good love don't come for free
Then I wouldn't be

This place where you're losing me

She sings about being tired of wasting her time and energy on someone who doesn't appreciate her and has caused her pain. She decides to walk away from this relationship and repossess her affection, indicating that she refuses to be treated poorly any longer. Cher acknowledges that the pain caused by this relationship has been too much and that there have been too many lies and games, leading her to leave.


In the second verse, Cher reflects on how she could have been blind to the reality of the relationship and questions what she ever saw in that person. She finally decides to take her love and save it for someone who appreciates her and treats her well. Cher realizes that she deserves better and that the person she was with did not deserve her. The chorus repeats as she emphasizes that she has taken back control of her heart and that she no longer belongs to that person.
