[Verse 1]
(Uh, say)
Where are you, baby? We're waiting for you
It's already two and you never called, yeah
We're drifting lately, and you never rang
I'm leaving Chicago 'cause something feels strange
Many kinds of love of which I've been afraid, uh
Yeah, I never believed I could feel it and want it to stay
If anything changes, we don't have to discuss
Oh, take it or leave it, just the way it was, yeah

[Refrain]
Just take it or leave it
Just take it or leave it
Just take it or leave it, baby

[Verse 2]
Where are you, baby? It's been a few years
Since I saw you here in this neighborhood
We've both had some time to change our minds
And settle in our ways, but I wonder
Does your laugh still sound the same?
You called me once upon a winter night, yeah
Compelled by nostalgia, we convinced ourselves we were right
But my memory's defensive, it won't let me reminisce
And you said, "Oh, take it or leave it, just the way it is"
[Refrain]
Just take it or leave it
Just take it or leave it
Just take it or leave it, baby

[Outro]
Uh, just take it or leave it
(Leave it, take it or leave)
