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
