Can You Take It?
The U.S. Army Airborne Lyrics

I heard it from a friend who
Someone told me that

Heard it from a friend who
They heard it from someone they know

Heard it from another you've been messin' around
They heard that you have cheated on someone

They say you've got a boy friend
It is rumored that you have a boyfriend

You're out late every weekend
You spend your weekends out late

They're talking about you and it's bringing me down
People are talking about you and it is making me upset

But I know the neighborhood
I am familiar with this area

And talk is cheap when the story is good
People will say anything when the story is interesting

And the tales grow taller on down the line
The stories become more exaggerated as they are passed along

So I'm telling you babe
I am informing you

That I don't think it's true babe
I do not believe the rumors

But even if it is keep this in mind
But if it is true, remember this

You take it on the run babe
If you want to leave, do it quickly

If that's the way you want it baby
If that is what you choose

Then I don't want you around
I do not want you in my life anymore

You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You are under pressure so leave quickly

You're thinkin' up your white lies
You are creating excuses and lies

You're puttin' on your bedroom eyes
You are trying to look seductive

You say you're comin' home but you won't say when
You claim you are returning home, but you do not specify when

But I can feel it's comin'
I sense that something is about to happen

If you leave tonight keep running
If you leave, continue to run

And you need never look back again
Do not look back, just leave
