[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
He beat [C]on me[F]
He cheat on [C]me
He's mean to me
[F]Ooh, but he could be so sweet to me

[Verse 2]
[C]My friends say I should give him up
[F]But oh, I need him, I need him a lot
That's why I'm gonna [C]take
it [F](take it, take it)
Take what [C]he's [G]got[C]
He disowns [F]me
He's going to [C]sleep
But when we're [F]alone
He tells me "I'm his very [C]own"

[Verse 3]
Yes, he's got what I [C]need
[F]But oh, I need what he's got
That's why I'm gonna [C]take
[F]it (take it, take it)
Take what [C]he's got

[Verse 4]
[F]Oh, my friends say he's no good
He's not worth the time of day
[C]For he could be an ice man, trash man,
a junk man any kind of man
[G]But nothing can drive me away, oh!

[Verse 5]
[C]He cause me [F]pain,
You make me wait sometimes
[G]out in the rain[C]
You can make me feel ashamed
[F]But I never dress the[C] same

[Verse 6]
And I love him so [C]much[F]
Nothing can make me stop
That's why I'm gonna [C]take
[F]it (take it take [Bb]it)
Take [F]what he's [C]got[F]

[Verse 7]
That's why [C]I'm gonna
take it (take it [F]take it)
Take what [C]he's got

[Verse 8]
[F]Oh, give it up, give it up, right now
[C]I'm gonna take it, bab[F]y
(Take it take it)
Take what he's [C]got
[F]
