Take It Back / Why Haven't I Heard From You (Revived) Songtext
von Reba McEntire

You talked me into moving in and giving you my key
You said you′d be a mess now if it hadn't been for me
You said I stole your heart away by looking in your eyes
I wonder now how many times you stole that pack of lies

If this is how you act when you give your heart away
Well, take it back (Take it back)
Oh, take it back

You told me I was everything you wanted and more
So tell me what you′re doing now sneaking out the back door
You're bringing home flowers and a bottle of Chablis
You forgot I don't drink wine, I know that bottle′s not for me

So if this is how you act when you give your heart away
Well, take it back (Take it back)
Oh, take it back, Catherine

Oh, now you must think I′m blind and I don't smell your new cologne
And you don′t even notice all the nights I spend alone
Tell 'em, Jeff


Well, back in 1876 an old boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950s they′re in everybody's home
It′s a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Well, there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car

So tell me why (Why) haven't I (Haven′t I) heard from you?
(Why haven′t I heard from you?)
Tell me why (Why) haven't I (Haven′t I) heard from you?
(Why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now, darling (Darling), oh
Honey (Honey), what is your excuse?
Why haven′t I heard from you?

There'd better have been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burned out the wires
Or thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothing about


Tell me why (Why) haven′t I (Haven't I) heard from you?
(Why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (Why) haven′t I (Haven′t I) heard from you?
(Why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now, darling (Darling), oh
Honey (Honey), what is your excuse?
Why haven′t I heard from you?
Tell me why (Why) haven't I (Haven′t I) heard from you?
(Why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (Why) haven′t I (Haven't I) heard from you?
(Why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now, darling (Darling), oh
Honey (Honey), what is your excuse?
Why haven′t I heard from you?

You, you, you, you, you, you
