Well I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need


I can't believe you would do this to me. I gave you everything I had - my advice, my work-out tips, a shoulder to cry on when you were upset. I loved you like a brother. An annoying, pain-in-the-ass, clingy little brother. I let you tag along with me, let you soak up my limelight. Never once did I ask for anything in return, other than your complete and total devotion, respect, and loyalty.

She is life when I want to live
She's everything to me in life that life can give
She's my water when I need a drink
She's the first thought in my mind
Each time I try to think


I don't care how many generations you can trace back to the squared circle. You were still green when they came to me and asked - practically begged - me to take you under my wing. Show him the ropes, Hunter. Teach him the business, Hunter. Make him a superstar. I did all that and more. I made you the legend killer. Who would have thought that the legend you had in mind was me?

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need


I gave you everything you would need to succeed in this business. I taught you everything you know - but I didn't teach you everything I know. Or at least I didn't think I had. I never thought you'd get a title shot on your own. I never thought you had it in you to go behind my back and take what was rightfully mine. But you did, didn't you? How could I have ever been fooled by that sweet, schoolboy charm and innocence?

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in wintertime
And make a flower grow


Sure, I handed you that line of bullshit about being the future of the company. You and Dave, that's what I said. But I lied. I am the past, the present and the future. I am the Game after all. I am god. I am everything this business was ever meant to be. Not you. NOT YOU! You are nothing but a pretty-boy punk with a dazzling smile and rock-hard abs. I am everything. You…you are nothing. Are you hearing me, boy?

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need


I tried to beat some sense into you. Tried to straighten you out after you took my belt. But no one could beat anything into that thick head of yours, could they? Hell, I bet your own daddy couldn't, even if he tried. Then I tried to get you to give back what was mine. I even asked nicely, something I never do. Nice is reserved for those that I respect. And after what you've done to me, I have nothing but contempt for you.

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Well I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got


My belt wasn't enough for you, was it? You took it. You took my spotlight. You took everything I hold near and dear to my heart. I have no friends. I have no belt. And tonight, you took the only other thing I love as much as my title. She stood by me through everything - the good times, the bad times. During my recovery, she was there, right next to me, comforting me. I don't care what you think - she loves me, not you. Damn you, Randy. She's my best friend! She's the love of my life! And you humiliated me, on national TV. You took her from me! And I swear if it's the last thing I do, I will get my sledgehammer back from you!
