Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She will lay with you for hours, tuck you in her bed of flowers
Hold you gently when you wake
She will kiss you with her sunshine, feed you berries under blue skies
Take you to a higher place
[PreChorus]
And when she smiles, the whole world shines
Feeling her glow
But when she cries, the oceans rise
Waving her arms
[Chorus]
And you can't take, take, take, no
If you don't give, give, give, no
No, you can't take her love
That might've worked with your mama, well, Mama Earth don't take shit, no
[PostChorus]
Now here's the thing about give-and-take
It's a system based on reciprocation
And no relationship can't relate
If they give and give, and you take and take
[Verse 2]
She been showing you her rage
Wildfires, hurricanes
Saying, "Baby, make a change"
She been getting hot and bothered
Warning that if it gets hotter
You won't have a place to stay
[PreChorus]
But when she smiles, the whole world shines
Feeling her glow, oh
But, but when she cries, the oceans rise
Waving her arms
[Chorus]
And you can't take, take, take, no
If you don't give, give, give, no
No, you can't take her love
That might've worked with your mama, well, Mama Earth don't take shit, no
[PostChorus]
Now here's the thing about give-and-take
It's a system based on reciprocation
And no relationship can't relate
If they give and give, and you take and take
Now here's the thing about give-and-take
It's a system based on reciprocation
And no relationship can't relate
If they give and give, and you take and take
