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
