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

Oh just take it or leave it 
And take it or leave it
Oh take it...

And gonna break your back, for a chance
And gonna steal your friends, if he can
He's gonna win someday

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
Oh just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh take it...
