Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This song right here is to that, that, that, that person
I won't even mention his name
They said I couldn't do nothing without him
[Verse 2]
Who are you to tell me that I can't go on without you?
And why you tellin' me I'm never gonna survive?
But once upon a time, yes I believed that lie (Oh, Lord)
But sorry no way, no how, you can't control my mind
[Verse 3]
'Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all
I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own
And I never, never would've grown
No, no, no, ain't no way you gon' take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
No, no, no, ain't no way you gon' take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
[Verse 4]
Thank you for the times of all the pain you gave me
The hate you showed to me taught me how to love myself
It's funny how you tried to break down my pride and my spirit
It doesn't even matter now 'cause I done moved on with my life
[Verse 5]
'Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all
I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own
And I never would've wrote this song
No, no, no, ain't no way you gon' take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
No, no, no, ain't no way you gon' take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
[Verse 6]
No, ain't no way
No way, no way
Oh no, no, no (No, no way)
Tellin' you, tellin' you
You can't take away
[Verse 7]
'Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all
I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own
No, I never would've found faith and I never would have loved again
If I thought you were my end all in my be all
I never would've found faith (Never would've found faith)
Never would've loved again (Never would've loved again)
And I never would've wrote this song, no
[Verse 8]
Talk about it
Talk about it (You can't take away my joy) My joy, my joy
My joy (No)
I'm tellin' you
Tellin' you
Can't take away, can't take away my joy
My joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy
Can't take away my joy
My, my, my, my joy, joy
