Lyrics
I Can't Take It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just give me five so I can step outside
Or even give me three and I'll be satisified
But if you give me none at all
You're going to see me climb that wall
And you know you're going to see me fall
I can't take it
Take all the nights that a man can give
And make all the days so a man can live
But if you take up every hour
You know you're gonna suck my power
And you know you're gonna leave me sour
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it
Place a lock upon my door
Give me all your money in a dark brown place
You've even got my soul in a dark brown case
But baby can't you see outside
You know you got my finger tight
And you know you're gonna hurt my pride
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it
Place a lock upon my door
