(Reginald Hines, Nick Martinelli)
|
|
Like a thief in the middle of the night
|
He take all my love and leave me there to fight
|
Solitude, the anger and the pain
|
Then you're back around to try it all again
|
It's cutting me like a knife
|
Save this healing I have for life
|
Enough pleasure back that I give you
|
You keep building me up like thunder
|
When I'm climbing the peak, I wonder
|
Why I feel so empty
|
|
And I just can't take it anymore
|
No more
|
I can't take it anymore
|
No more
|
(Just can't take it anymore)
|
|
I used to put a prize of pleasure, it was fun
|
Now my life has changed, you're the only one
|
Giving everything and getting no return
|
This relationship has taking quite a turn
|
Making love in the night time
|
Used to be just the right time
|
To get some satisfaction guaranteed
|
Now I'm drowning in deep frustration
|
And I'm ready for a salvation
|
From this lonely feeling
|
And I just can't take it aymore
|
Ooh, no more
|
I can't take it anoymore
|
Ooh, no more
|
|
Don't you know I'm packing my bags forever
|
Leaving the scene
|
On for some new beginning
|
To follow my dream
|
I'll be bathing on a pleasure
|
This new man can give
|
You know we could keep this moment
|
The way I really want to feel
|
I wanna live in ecstasy
|
|
I just can't take it anymore (I can't take it, ooh baby)
|
No more (I don't want it, baby)
|
I can't take it aymore
|
(Oh, I can't take it, I don't want it, baby)
|
No more (No, I can't take it, baby)
|
|
[Interlude]
|
|
I just can't take it anymore (Ohhh...)
|
No more (I can't take it, baby)
|
I can't take it anymore (I don't want it, I don't need it)
|
(I ain't gonna take it, darling)
|
No more
|
Just can't take it anymore (I can't take it)
|
No more (I don't want it)
|
I can't take it anymore (I can't take this misery and pain)
|
No more (it's driving me insane)
