T-T-T-Take It!

She is such a good girl

Livin' down the street

Workin' in the diner

At the local brewery

She's married to this man

For reasons I can only guess

He always beats her up

And turns her face into a mess

I'm watchin' from the outside

Outside lookin' in

Watchin' from the outside

T-T-T-Take it!

T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone

When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own

Hey, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone

Sometimes when it's rainin'

She doesn't go to work

She's lookin' at some pictures

Of her dad who was a clerk

She's puttin' on a record

From the spring of '65

She's dancin' by herself

With big faraway eyes

I'm watchin' from the outside

Outside lookin' in

Watchin' from the outside

T-T-T-Take it!

T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone

When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own

You'll be glad when he's buried and gone

Yea, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone

Take it away, go back home

Take it away, won't you please go back home
