Love Won't Take Me Out

(albüm: Masterpiece Theatre - 2000)

I had a love (I had a love)
And I had pain (And I had a pain)
Best believe (Best believe)
They come hand in hand (Hand in hand)
'Cause I'm a soldier (I'm a soldier)
For the love brigade (Love brigade)
I'm prepared to do battle (Battle, battle)
With anything

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out

I had to be (Had to be)
A fool indeed (A fool indeed)
To let someone (Let someone)
Break me down to my knees (Down to my knees)
I was reckless (I was reckless)
With my heart you see (My heart you see)
There's no room for that in my world (My world)
And yet there's the man

Say bye-bye to the teary brown eyes
And the big sad face with an upside down smile
It's so beneath me, it's so beneath me
Say bye-bye to the meaningless days
And the loneliest nights just wasting my mind
It's so beneath me, it can't control me

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out
I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out

Won't take me out, won't take me out
Won't take me out, won't take me out
Won't take me out, won't take me out
Me out, me out, me out

Time to rise (Time to rise)
Time to shine (Time to shine)
Never again (Never again)
'Cause I decline ('Cause I decline)
To be a victim (To be a victim)
Of a broken heart (Of a broken heart)
'Cause I found the goddess in me
And now I leave my mark

I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out
I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out
I have control of my life you see
Let's keep it real not to make believe
I won't get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won't let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out

Love...
I have the power to do as I please
I won't let it take me out
I dish it out very hard there's no doubt
And I won't let love take me out
