Take away all the lies that you told to me
Take away all the dreams that once set me free
The smile on my face and the spring in my step
You can take them too
Cause if you’re leavin’
Then I won’t need them
Take them with you
Take away all my cash and your diamond ring
If you can carry the house go right ahead
Take the whole damn thing
The sun in the sky and the leaves on the trees
They’re my gift to you
Cause if you’re leavin’
Then I won’t need them
What good would they do?
Well, I remember the days
When I could make you laugh
And I could make you smile
But those days darlin’ haven’t been round here
In a good long while
Well, take away all the lies that you told to me
Yeah, take away all the dreams that once set me free
The smile on my face
And the spring in my step you can take them too
Cause if you’re leavin’
Then I won’t need them
Take them with you
Oh, take them with you

Will you take a message?
You know who it’s for
Will you take a message?
And knock upon her door
Knock until she answers
If you have to knock all night
These words I want to say to her
Make sure you get 'em right
It’s taken me some distance, it’s taken me some time
I’ve needed some assistance, since she left me behind
Make sure she understands
I’ve thought the whole thing through
The words I want to say to her
I hope they will ring true
I’d follow her around the world
If I thought it’d make her mine
I’d follow her to hell and back
If that would change her mind
It’s taken me some distance, it’s taken me some time
I’ve needed some assistance, since she left me behind
It’s taken me some distance, it’s taken me some time
I’ve needed some assistance, since she left me behind
It’s taken me some distance, it’s taken me some time
I’ve needed some assistance, since she left me behind
To get her off my mind, since she left me behind
