Lyrics

Words and music by Michelle Malone

Just gimme back my favorite tshirt
the one that i bought at the Stones concert
when you said no one would ever love me like you do
Gimme back my courage and all my pride
I wont take the blame for the pain of your lies
I’m never gonna let you hurt me again

I stayed cause I felt so beat down
I stayed cause our house was in town
i stayed cause you were gone so much
I stayed, you held me like a crutch
I stayed tip I got up the courage to run

Just gimme back my favorite tshirt
the one that i bought at the Stones concert
when you said no one would ever love me like you do
and gimme me back my trust, my self-respect
the pain is gone but the scar’s still fresh
i’m never gonna let you hurt me again

I stayed cause mama didn't raise no quitter
I stayed - you were a built in baby sitter
I stayed cause you cried and begged me
I stayed - sometimes you were good to me
i stayed til I got up the money to leave

I stayed, cause I got used to the pain
and you kept promising that you’d change
I dont believe you anymore

So Just gimme back my favorite tshirt
you’re a voodoo doll with a stick-pin curse
I’m never gonna let anybody treat me like you did
Gimme back my courage and all my pride
I wont take the blame for the pain of your lies
I’m never gonna let you hurt me again
no, i’m never gonna let anybody hurt me again
Gimme back my favorite tshirt
just gimme back my favorite tshirt
give it back, gimme my favorite tshirt
