[Verse 1]
You can turn off and on more times
Than a flashing neon sign
When you want you're bad
But you can be so kind
[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life
[Verse 2]
There've been times when you tried makin' eyes
At all my so called friends
Then you go, now you're back
But you can be so kind
[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friends just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life
[Chorus]
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
[Verse 3]
I'm sick and tired of the smile that you give
When you don't come home at night
You said you'd call, that's a lie
But you could be so kind
[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friends just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life
[Outro]
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta...
You can turn off and on more times
Than a flashing neon sign
When you want you're bad
But you can be so kind
[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life
[Verse 2]
There've been times when you tried makin' eyes
At all my so called friends
Then you go, now you're back
But you can be so kind
[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friends just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life
[Chorus]
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
[Verse 3]
I'm sick and tired of the smile that you give
When you don't come home at night
You said you'd call, that's a lie
But you could be so kind
[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friends just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life
[Outro]
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta...
