He Won't Take Me Out
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.
I had a love
And I had pain
Best believe
They come hand in hand
Cause I'm a soldier
For the love brigade
I'm prepared to do 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
A fool indeed
To let someone
Break me down to my knees
I was wreckless
With my heart you see
There's no rule for that in my world
And yet that's plan
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
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 shine
Never again
Cause I decline
To be a victim
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
(Repeat x3)
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
