I had a 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 I have control of my life you see Let's keep it real not to 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 rule for that in my world And yet that's plan 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 wasting my mind It's so beneath me it can't control me I have control of my life you see Let's keep it real not to 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 have control of my life you see Let's keep it real not to 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 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 I have control of my life you see Let's keep it real not to 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 Repeat x3 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
