Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - Take It Inside lyrics

rate me

(S. Van Zandt)

Try to understand

Before you judge

Now I'm the kind of man

That looks before he touch

But I ain't never touched nothin'

That didn't hit me back, oh no

And the way we live is the way we die

How bad do you want it?

How hard do you try?

You don't ask no questions

You don't find out why

As you watch your life pass you by

You've got to take it inside

Take it inside

Take it inside

Take it inside

Now I do believe

A wound heals if you let it

I can learn to forgive

But I will never forget it

You call my name

And like a fool I'm back again

And I'm watching you die girl

A little at a time

While I stay hard pretending

That I don't mind

I turn my head

But I can't deny

The hurt that I try to hide

You got to take it inside

Take it inside

Take it inside

Take it inside

It's your life, girl

I can't take you there

I try to help

But you're still nowhere

I tell myself, girl

That I don't care

I still can't let it ride
