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,

Um, hm, hm
