Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery
(Listen, you better)
Take it or leave it
You've been sleepin' on it much too long
And in the bank of my love
Your account's already overdrawn
I was never a believer in synthetic affection
Love is here or it was never really there at all
But there's a rumor goin' round
While I was out on the road
You were out on the town
(You better)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery
I used to think that you and me
Were different from all the rest
Well I'm a jealous man
Don't you put me to the test
I doubt there ever was a woman
That was sheer perfection
But I never wanna see you with another man
You better make your mind up fast
'Cause I'm in love with you now
But it ain't gonna last
(You better)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
You better take it or leave it
