That’s the Way You Gave It to Me Songtext
von Robert Pollard

Just give me some gongs and voices of the thousand girls
And I′ll promise you, that's what you need
Give me some army boots, and I fought with pride
But you wore them out before me

That′s the way you gave it to me
That's the way I'm givin′ it back to you
That′s the way you gave it to me
That's the way I′m givin' it back to you

Shine your boats, they′ve got places to go
Light shine off them, wait and see


That's the way you gave it to me
That′s the way I'm givin' it back to you
That′s the way you gave it to me
That′s the way I'm givin′ it back to you

All of the sudden, in guise of the valet
In time for the ballet, I showed you
Inside destination, I'll be well out the door
Just like in the theatre, just like me
Just like you
Just like me


That′s the way you gave it to me
That's the way I′m givin' it back to you
That's the way you gave it to me
That′s the way I′m givin' it back to you
That′s the way you gave it to me
That's the way I′m givin' it back to you
That′s the way you gave it to me
That's the way I'm givin′ it back to you
