Lyrics
I can still remember
I have vivid memories of the past
It wasn't long ago
Not too much time has passed
Things you used to tell me
You used to share things with me
You said I had to know
You insisted that I needed to understand something
Told me that you loved me
You declared your love for me
And that you always would
You claimed it was a lasting love
Then I said I loved you
I reciprocated by expressing my love for you
You told me that was good
You approved of my declaration of love
Girl, you made a promise, said you'd never want me to go
You made a promise never to want me to leave
Oh no
An expression of surprise or disagreement with a negative outcome
Indian giver, Indian giver
Referring to someone who takes back what they have given
You took your love away from me
You withdrew your love from me
Indian giver, Indian giver
Reiteration of love being taken back
Took back the love you gave to me
The reversal of the love you previously bestowed upon me
Baby, I was feeling
I was experiencing the emotions I desired
The way I want to feel
The emotions were as I wanted them to be
You had me believing
I believed in the authenticity of our love
The love we had was real
We had a genuine love
Things we did together
We engaged in shared experiences
And that we'd never end
We thought our love would never end
"Now until forever," oh yeah, tha's what you said
A commitment to love forever
Girl, when I was down, you said that you'd always be there
You assured me of your continuous support when I was low
Oh, yeah, oh
An emphatic expression of agreement or acknowledgment
Indian giver, Indian giver
Reiteration of someone taking back what they gave
You took your love away from me
The withdrawal of love is emphasized
Indian giver, Indian giver
Continued emphasis on the retraction of love
Took back the love you gave to me, yeah
Repetition of the act of taking back love
Indian giver, Indian giver
Repetition of the theme of love being taken away
You took your love away from me
Love is explicitly taken away
Indian giver, Indian giver
The act of reclaiming love is reiterated
Took back the love you gave to me, yeah
Repetition of the theme of love being taken away
You're an Indian giver, Indian giver
A person who takes back what they gave, emphasized
You took your love away from me
Love is explicitly taken away
Indian giver, Indian giver
Reiteration of the act of taking back love
Took back the love you gave to me, yeah
Repetition of the theme of love being taken away
Indian giver, Indian giver
-You took your love away from me
Explicitly stating the withdrawal of love
You're an Indian giver, Indian giver
Emphasizing the person who takes back love
Took back the love you gave to me, yeah
Repetition of the act of taking back love
