Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break: wash that love away
Woooo!
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away
It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
And it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away
It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
Loses its perspective when it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break: wash that love away
Woooo!
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away
It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
And it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away
It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
Loses its perspective when it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
