Barenaked Ladies - Take It Outside lyrics

Oh, I - I watch it all go down

Closed eyes - pretend noone's around

So I - I chose to play the clown

Or blow by and never make a sound

[CHORUS:]

Any other guy would wanna take it outside

But I'd never even try - who wants to get their lights knocked out?

Any other guy would wanna stir it up some,

But I'd rather say goodbye

Turn 'round - say it to my face

No sound - Everything's a race

Lose ground - lost in your embrace

Leave town - never leave a trace

[CHORUS]

Hardly know what anything's for

Just for show, I'm slamming the door

Even so, my heart and my head are an open book

[CHORUS x2]

I'd rather say goodbye
