Leave me alone
I'm in control

And girls act too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough
Were on the minds of other men I know she was
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...

I fell off the track
Now I can't go back
I'm not like that
Boys act too much
Girls act too tough
Enough is enough.
Well on the minds of other girls I know he was.
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...
