I had a love
And I had pain
Best believe
They come hand in hand
Cause I´m a soldier
For the love brigade
I´m prepared to do battle
With anything

I have control of my life you see
Let´s keep it real not to make believe
I won´t get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won´t let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard, there´s no doubt
And I won´t let love take me out

I had to be
A fool indeed
To let someone
Break me down to my knees
I was wreckless
With my heart you see
There´s no rule for that in my world
And yet that´s plan

Say bye-bye to the teary brown eyes
And the big sad face with an upside down smile
It´s so beneath me, it´s so beneath
Say bye-bye to the meaningless days
And the loneliest nights
Just wasting my mind
It´s so beneath me, it can´t control me

I have control of my life you see
Let´s keep it real not to make believe
I won´t get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won´t let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard, there´s no doubt
And I won´t let love take me out

I have control of my life you see
Let´s keep it real not to make believe
I won´t get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won´t let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard, there´s no doubt
And I won´t let love take me out

Won´t take me out, won´t take me out
Won´t take me out, won´t take me out
Won´t take me out, won´t take me out
Me out, me out, me out

Time to rise
Time to shine
Never again
Cause I decline
To be a victim
Of a broken heart
Cause I found the goddess in me
And now I leave my mark

I have control of my life you see
Let´s keep it real not to make believe
I won´t get caught with my foot in my mouth
And I won´t let love take me out
I have the power to do as I please
I take the blows and I do it with ease
I dish it out very hard, there´s no doubt
And I won´t let love take me out
(Repeat x3)

I have the power to do as I please
(I won´t let it take me out)
I dish it out very hard, there´s no doubt
And I won´t let love take me out
