Don Tomlinson wrote or co-wrote every song on this site and without generative AI involvement. Every sound recording on this site is the product of its professional original sound recording having been uploaded to an AI music site solely for purposes of changing the vocalist, updating the production, and sometimes adding another genre (with the melody changed only derivatively to accommodate the additional genre). Virtually all companies in the music licensing industry require any song they license to have been 100% human written. All underlying musical compositions on this site were 100% human written. For comparison and other purposes, the original sound recordings of almost all the songs on this site may be heard at www.solidsterlingmusic.com.

Lyrics

VERSE
All this time we’ve been together
I’ve loved you so and now you want to leave
But I want you forever ’cause you gave your love to me
And you can’t have it back

VERSE
Everything we’ve been to each other
Is part of me now, and you can't have it back
Now you want another, but you gave your love to me
And you can’t have it back

CHORUS
You say you can’t pretend anymore
That you still love me like you did before
Now I’m tellin’ you just what’s fiction and what’s fact
You gave your love, and you can’t have it back

SOLO/VERSE
But if you must go with her
Then leave today, but there's one thing you can't take
Take everything but your love
’Cause you gave your love to me
And you can’t have it back

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Melody to verse hummed...
