I'm Not Gonna Take it lyrics

I saw you at the joint last night

(oh, yeah)

and someone else was holding you tight

(oh, no).

I tell you, boy, it's not my scene

(uh-huh).

This jealousy's a-kinda makin' me mean.

I'll tell you now, I'll make it fast.

(What's that?)

You know this love affair ain't gonna last.

When it's time for me to go away,

you think it's time for you to play, play, play.

But you're wrong.

I ain't comin' back no more.

I know, baby,

just where you're at.

And I'm not gonna take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I won't take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take,

take it no more

from you, from you.

You asked me to your gig last week.

(Get lost!)

You made me dress up like a freak.

(Who cares?)

You said that I could hold you good.

(Big deal!)

And now, baby, I'm having fun.

I'll tell you now, I'll make it fast.

(What's that?)

You know this love affair ain't gonna last.

When it's time for me to go away,

you think it's time for you to play, play, play.

But you're wrong.

I ain't comin' back no more.

I know, baby,

just where you're at.

And I'm not gonna take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I won't take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take,

take it no more

from you, from you.

You told me that you loved me.

I knew that it was just a lie,

(full of shit)1

saw that look in your eye.

Oh, why'd you make me feel so blue?

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I won't take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take,

take it no more

from you, from you.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I won't take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take,

take it no more

from you, from you.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I won't take, take, take, take, 

take it no more.

I'm not gonna take, take, take, take,

take it no more

from you, from you.
