Love Won't Take Me Out

I had 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

Chorus:
I have control of my life you see
Must keep it real not so 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 room for that in my world
Can’t get the best of me

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 a waste of my time
It’s so beneath me it can’t control me

(Chorus x2)

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

(Chorus x3)

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
