I've Had It
Lee Andrews Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooh
Hush now
Don't you cry
Wipe your tears on your pillow tonight

And I know that you've been hurt
And it feels like nothing will work
You had a love you thought was true
She broke your heart and made a fool out of you

In this life
The lesson you've learned
Play with fire you're gonna get burned

I've had it and you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it
I've had it and now you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it

Oooh
Look now
Don't put it down
inaudible

In this life
The lesson you've learned
Play with fire you're gonna get burned

I've had it and you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it
I've had it, now you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it

Ooh




I've had it and you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it
I've had it, now you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it
I've had it and you've got it
Now the whole world is talking about it"
