Roxette – T-t-t-take It! Lyrics

She is such a good girl livin' down the street
Workin' in the diner at the local brewery
She's married to this man for reasons I can only guess
He always beats up and turns her face into a mess

I'm watchin' from the outside
Outside lookin' in
Watchin' from the outside

T-T-T-Take it!
T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone
When you walk out that door,
Honey, you're on your own
Hey, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone

Sometimes when it's rainin' she doesn't go to work
She's lookin' at some pictures of her dad who was a clerk
She's puttin' on a record from the spring of 65
She's dancin' by herself with big faraway eyes

I'm watchin' from the outside
Outside lookin' in
Watchin' from the outside

T-T-T-Take it!
T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone
When you walk out that door,
Honey, you're on your own
You'll be glad when he's buried and gone
Yea, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone

Take it away, go back home
Take it away, won't you please go back home
