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
