Say my name all you like
You can't play me yet
Could be wrong, could be right
But you're so out of step
Turn away from what it's mean to be
You're taking this too seriously
Wait a beat, slow it down
You never wanna be away from me
But I just need some air to breathe
Keep it on the ground

Take me back to how we were before
Can't be whole or nothing anymore
I won't be losing any sleep
Until you bring it back to me
Don't you know, boy,
What we had was gold

Told you once, told you twice
But you won't hear me out
All the things you do right
Still gonna do without
I just wanna get the mystery
But you wanna get the hold of me
Not me, no
Don't try to make me feel guilty, boy
There's no shame in honesty
Can't stand and tell you so

[x3]
Take me back to how we were before
Can't be whole or nothing anymore
I won't be losing any sleep
Until you bring it back to me
Don't you know, boy
What we had was gold
