Crystal Shawanda You Can't Take It Back Lyrics

There she was, just seventeen
Crying on the morning after
He told her everything she wanted to hear
All those drunken reasons
She had for giving in don’t matter
And they don’t stop the tears, no

What do you do when it’s too late
What do you say when you can’t change the truth
Of what you’ve done and it’s coming at you fast
When you can’t hide the hurt inside
How do you pray to make it right
When you wanna change the past
And you can’t take it back
You can’t take it back

Scared to death, she tells a friend
To meet her at the drugstore counter
And finds out what she didn’t wanna hear
Daddy’ll die, her Momma’ll cry
The kids at school will talk about her
There ain’t no easy way outta here

Oh, what do you do when it’s too late
What do you say when you can’t change the truth
Of what you’ve done and it’s coming at you fast
When you can’t hide the hurt inside How do you pray to make it right
When you wanna change the past
And you can’t take it back

All the choices that she’s made
But they’ll be staring back at her
There’s one she wouldn’t change

What do you do when it’s too late
What do you say when you can’t change the truth
Of what you’ve done and it’s coming at you fast
When you can’t hide the hurt inside
How do you pray to make it right
When you wanna change the past
And you can’t take it back

What do you do when it’s too late
What do you say when you can’t change the truth
Of what you’ve done and it’s coming at you fast
When you can’t hide the hurt inside
How do you pray to make it right
When you wanna change the past
And you can’t take it back
Sometimes it ain’t so bad
