Take What You Want Lyrics

I woke up this mornin'
With a burden of love hangin' over my head as I
Walk into the living room, sit with you
Discuss what's goin' on.
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is there something I forgot to do?
Oh, tell me
So that I understand.

I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost, you've
Been so good to me,
Givin' me everything
Take what you want
'Cause it doesn't belong to me

I woke up this mornin'
With a hurtin' that I would never, ever wish upon
Even my worst enemy
Who is she?
What the hell do you people want?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is there something I forgot to do?
Oh, tell me so that I understand.

I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost, you've
Been so good to me givin' me everything
Take what you want
'Cause it doesn't belong to me anyway

Woah
Woah yeah
Woah

I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost, so
You've been good to me
Givin' me everything
Take what you want 'cause it
Doesn't belong to me.

I woke up this mornin'
With a burden of love hangin' over my head as I
Walk into the living room, sit with you
Discuss what's goin' on.
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is there something I forgot to do?
Oh, tell me
So that I understand.

I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost, you've
Been so good to me,
Givin' me everything
Take what you want
'Cause it doesn't belong to me

I woke up this mornin'
With a hurtin' that I would never, ever wish upon
Even my worst enemy
Who is she?
What the hell do you people want?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is there something I forgot to do?
Oh, tell me so that I understand.

I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost, you've
Been so good to me givin' me everything
Take what you want
'Cause it doesn't belong to me anyway

Woah
Woah yeah
Woah

I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost, so
You've been good to me
Givin' me everything
Take what you want 'cause it
Doesn't belong to me.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I like this one very much...it sounds sad and angry at the same time. I specially like when Adam says "I woke up this mornin' with a hurtin' that I would never ever wish upon even my worst enemy..." I know how that feels like!!!

'Even my worst enemy, Who is she?'

What a great line about who is the one you love sort of.
