Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you've been messin' around
They say you've got a boy friend
You're out late every weekend
They're talking about you and it's bringing me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
So I'm telling you babe
That I don't think it's true babe
But even if it is keep this in mind
You take it on the run babe
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You're thinkin' up your white lies
You're puttin' on your bedroom eyes
You say you're comin' home but you won't say when
But I can feel it's comin'
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again
You take it on the run babe
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You take it on the run babe
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You take it on the run babe
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
I heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you've been messin' around
The lyrics to the song "Take it or Leave it" by JR Writer and u-mad.net tell a story of a man who hears rumors about his partner cheating on him. The singer first heard the rumors from a friend who heard it from another friend, and the story has been getting more and more exaggerated as it is passed down. Despite not believing the rumors, he warns his partner that if they are true, he doesn't want them around. The partner is accused of coming home late on weekends and having a boyfriend. The singer can sense that something is amiss and tells the partner that they can leave tonight and never look back.
The lyrics speak to a common experience of hearing rumors and gossip about someone you care about. The singer's reluctance to believe the rumors shows a level of trust and faith in his partner, but also a level of naivete. The song also touches on the theme of taking control of one's life, by telling his partner to take control of the situation and make a decision about their relationship.

I heard it from a friend who
I received information from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Who also heard it from another friend
Heard it from another you've been messin' around
Who heard that you've been cheating on me with someone else
They say you've got a boy friend
Rumors are spreading that you have a boyfriend
You're out late every weekend
You're going out late every weekend
They're talking about you and it's bringing me down
The rumors about you are depressing and upsetting me
But I know the neighborhood
I'm familiar with the area where we live
And talk is cheap when the story is good
Gossip is easy to spread when the story is interesting
And the tales grow taller on down the line
As the rumors spread, they become more exaggerated
So I'm telling you babe
I'm explaining to you, my partner
That I don't think it's true babe
I don't believe the rumors, my sweetheart
But even if it is keep this in mind
But if it turns out to be true, remember this
You take it on the run babe
You leave me and go on the run if you want to
If that's the way you want it baby
If that's what you desire
Then I don't want you around
I don't want you near me anymore
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You're feeling pressured to leave, so you run away
You're thinkin' up your white lies
You're coming up with lies to tell me
You're puttin' on your bedroom eyes
You're trying to seduce me with your physical appearance
You say you're comin' home but you won't say when
You claim you're coming home, but you won't specify when
But I can feel it's comin'
But I have a premonition that something is about to happen
If you leave tonight keep running
If you decide to leave tonight, don't stop running
And you need never look back again
And you don't have to look back or come back ever again
