Robert Pollard - That's the Way You Gave It to Me lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Shine your boats, they've got places to go Light shine off them, wait and see [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
