Leave me alone
I'm in control
I'm in control 

And girls act too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough

Were on the minds of other men I know she was

I said just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it

Он just take it or leave it 
And take it or leave it
Он take it...

I fell off the track
Now I can't go back
I'm not like that

Boys act too much
Girls act too tough
Enough is enough. 

Well on the minds of other girls I know he was.

I said just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it

And take it or leave it
Он just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Он take it...

There it is, fun song to play, not hard. 
Try and feel the rhythm changes through the verses, 
they give the song a good build up on to the ‘Take it or Leave it” 
part.
Now the two notes on the 8th fret in the 
chorus aren’t actually there on the CD. 
But they sound right and follow the guitar accurately.
