How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' in back?
I want ya to tell me baby
How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
Cha' tell me, tell me baby

How do you 'spect for me to get it,
When you keep on doin' like that?

Hey, you want me an' I want you
But you're afraid that I won't be true
I've got your love in the palm of my hand
You change your mind, snatch it back again

How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
C'mon tell me, tell me baby
How can I get your love,
when ya keep on snatchin' it back?

Hey, how can you 'spect for me to get it,
when you keep on doin' like that, um hm?
Some other man before my time
Must have loved you, left you behind
You're afraid that I'll hurt you
But I won't do anything, you don't want me to

How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?

Look out ya'all, come on through!

Some other man before my time
Must have loved you, left you behind
Now you're afraid that I'll hurt you
But I won't do anything, woman
You don't want me to

How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby
How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
Tell me, tell me baby

How, how can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
How can I get your love,
when you keep on snatchin' it back?
Um, hm, hm

Fading:
Get your love
Ya keep snatchin' it back
Um, hey baby, uh, ow ow
