Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Leave me alone

I'm in control

I'm in control

And girls lie too much

And boys act too tough

Enough is enough

[PreChorus]

Well, on the minds of other men

I know she was

[Chorus]

I said, just take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

Oh, just take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

Oh, take it

[Refrain]

Well, I say

Oh, he's gonna let you down

He's gonna let you down

He's gonna let you down

And gonna break your back for a chance

And gonna steal your friends if he can

He's gonna win someday

[Verse 2]

I fell off the track

Now I can't go back

I'm not like that

Boys lie too much

Girls act too tough

Enough is enough

[PreChorus]

Well, on the minds of other girls

I know he was

[Verse 3]

I said, just take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

Oh, just take it or leave it

And take it or leave it

Oh, take it

[Refrain]

Well, I say

Oh, he's gonna let you down

He's gonna let you down

He's gonna let you down

And gonna break your back for a chance

And gonna steal your friends if he can

He's gonna win someday

Oh, he will
