Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away
Take that thing right out of here
[Verse 2]
Don't let them take me
To where streams are red
I want to stay here
And sleep in my own bed
Need all your loving
Long blonde hair
Don't let them take me
'Cause I'm easily scared
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
[Verse 3]
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away
Take that thing right out of here
[Verse 4]
I got this great need
The need to stay alive
Not ashamed of my creed
I've got to survive
So come on, baby
Don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
[Verse 5]
I got this need
The need to stay alive
Not ashamed of my creed
I've got to survive
So come on, baby
Don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
[Verse 6]
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away
Take that thing right out of here
[Verse 7]
I got this thing
I've got to keep it sharp
Don't go to places where it won't shine in the dark
So come on, baby
Don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back
Take that thing right out of here
