Nothing You Can Take from Me"
Rachel Zegler The Covey Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't take my past, you can't take my history
You could take my pa, but his name's a mystery
Nothin' you can take from me was ever worth keepin'
Oh, nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'

Can't take my charm, can't take my humor
Can't take my wealth, 'cause it's just a rumor
Nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'
No, nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'

Thinkin' you're so fun, thinkin' you could have my
Thinkin' you're in control, thinkin' you'll change me
Maybe rearrange me, think again if that's your goal
Ooh

Can't take my sass, can't take my talkin'
You can kiss my ass, then keep on walkin'

Nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'
Oh, nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'
Nothin' you can take from me is worth dirt
Take it, 'cause I'd give it free, it won't hurt




Nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'
No, nothin' you can take was ever worth keepin'

You can't take my past
You can't take my history
You could take my Pa
But his name's a mystery
… Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping
… You can't take my charm
You can't take my humor
You can't take my wealth
'Cause it's just a rumor
… Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping
… Thinking you're so fine
Thinking you can have mine
Thinking you're in control
Thinking you'll change me
Maybe rearrange me
Think again, if that's your goal
… 'Cause you can't take my sass
You can't take my talking
And you can kiss my ass
Then keep on walking
… Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping
No sir, nothing you can take from me is worth dirt
Take it 'cause I give it free, it won't hurt
… Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping

Lyrics:

You can’t take my past.
You can’t take my history.
You could take my pa,
But his name’s a mystery.
Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping.

You can’t take my charm.
You can’t take my humor.
You can’t take my wealth,
'Cause it’s just a rumor.
Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping.

Thinking you’re so fine.
Thinking you can have mine.
Thinking you’re in control.
Thinking you’ll change me, maybe rearrange me.
Think again, if that’s your goal,
'Cause…

You can’t take my sass.
You can’t take my talking.
You can kiss my ass
And then keep on walking.
Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping.

No, sir,
Nothing you can take from me is worth dirt.
Take it, 'cause I’d give it free. It won’t hurt.
Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping!

Y’all can hate her or not but Rachel has a good singing voice 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Gaia_Seraphina

Hate somebody for hating a Disney fairy tale? Imagine that kind of modern pettiness! 😅 Including a witch hunt and stalking through all the other movies too. Psychotic.

@ericgeddes3353

I just saw the movie. I still think she was miscast as Snow White but she is a really good actress and singer.

@mackyronni

People act like she personally called them a slur?? And yet male celebrities can be convicted abusers and no one bats an eye. The double standard is ridiculous.

@Gaia_Seraphina

@@ericgeddes3353
The point is that her other roles shouldn't even matter in the comment section of THIS movie here.
Stalking an actress through her other movies is a serious mental issue within the anonymous social media community and shows a worrisome hate mentality of the modern audience. Social media hooliganism should be permitted.

@irilevant

​@Gaia_Seraphina I have a lot of problem with that snow white movie from what I have seen everywhere but idk why you would hate an actress for something Disney is responsible for. Rachel Zegler is an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to and she is most likely going to be the best thing about SW

I lowkey really like the southern and blues vibe of the song and it really fits with the movie

@TheMarkmcr

The jazz lounge sound at the start is pretty good too

@mkdodson04

technically it’s appalachian folk

@rae8961

My guy, please check out bluegrass and Appalachian folk. Murder ballads are a thing, it's where Suzanne got the inspiration from.
