"Take A Minute" lyrics

Take A Minute

You came in
Just as I was leaving
With my denim bag
Everything that I own is sitting
In a taxi cab
And my hope like the rain kept falling
The sun is gone I guess
There's no dinner
In the oven
No forwarding address

Don't ask me why I'm running
Cause you should have seen this coming

Take a minute
Just to think about it, baby
Take a minute
Just to work it out, yeah
Always feel like a stranger in your town
Every evening it's another showdown
It's a circus but I ain't your clown
And I'm tired of fighting
Now I'm riding out

Here's my key
And the ring you gave me
You can have them back
I was counting the nights I've been lonely
But I lost track

I've spent all this time not knowing
And you wonder why I'm going

Take a minute
Just to think about it, baby
Hey
Take a minute
Just to work it out, yeah
Always feel like a stranger in your town
Every evening it's another showdown
It's a circus but I ain't your clown
And I'm tired of fighting
Now I'm riding out

I'm riding, yeah
Don't ask me why I'm running
Cause you should have seen this coming

Take a minute
Just to think about it, baby
Take a minute
Just to work it out, yeah

Take a minute
Just to think about it, baby
Take a minute
Just to work it out, yeah

Take a minute
Take a minute, yeah
Take a minute
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Take a minute
Think about it
Just work it out
