[Verse 1]
Just give me five so I can step outside
Or even give me three, and I'll be satisfied
But if you give me none at all
You're gonna see me climb that wall
And you know you're gonna see me fall
And I can't take it

[Verse 2]
Take all the nights that a man can give
And make all the days so a man can live
But if you take up every hour
You're gonna take up all my power
And you know you're gonna turn me sour
And I can't take it, no

[Chorus]
I can't take, woo-ooh
I can't take it anymore
I can't take, woo-ooh
Place a lock upon my door
Yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Give me all your money in your dark, brown vase
You've even got my soul in your dark, brown case
But baby, can't you see outside?
You know you've got my fingers tied
And you know you're gonna hurt my pride
And I can't take it, no
[Chorus]
I can't take, woo-ooh
I can't take it anymore
I can't take, woo-ooh
Place a lock upon my door
I can't take, woo-ooh
I can't take it anymore
I can't take, woo-ooh
Place a lock upon my door
I can't take, woo-ooh
I can't take it anymore
I can't take, woo-ooh
Place a lock upon my door
I can't take, woo-ooh
I can't take it anymore
I can't take, woo-ooh
Place a lock upon my door
I can't take, woo-ooh
