Lyrics Love Won't Take Me Out - En Vogue

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 reckless 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

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

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
