TAKE IT OUT ON ME
© 1999

A handsome face with an ugly heart
Just ripped your whole world apart
And you think your life’s at the end
You just had to start a fight
Now your days are endless nights
So you’re looking for a friend

Here you come again, all torn up from him
Tell me what else could it be?
Yeah, you caught him lying, he must have tired of your crying
And now you take it out on me
Take it out on me (x4)

Big shot with a blueprint from the man
But his words somehow exceed your grasp
So you put your faith in trust
All his tangled little lies
And late-night bedroom alibis
Left you feeling pretty crushed

Here you come again, all torn up from him
Tell me what else could it be?
Yeah, you caught him lying, he must have tired of your crying
And now you take it out on me
Take it out on me (x4)

All my best-laid plans
Still lie in big, strong hands
Cause all I ever do is talk
And you told me “Life is but a game,
When will you ever learn to play?”
But it looks like you just lost

Here you come again, all torn up from him
Tell me what else could it be?
Yeah, you caught him lying, he must have tired of your crying
And now you take it out on me
Take it out on me (x8)
