lyrics

"Take Off the Gloves"
(R.F. Restaino)

Way down where you keep those things that
You won't let me see
I suspect there's a thing or two
You'd like to tell show me
Get it over with, tell me off, I got it coming

Take off the gloves and lean right into me
Show me your worst
Then we'll both be free to let it go
Just land a few good blows, my sweet

Why is it just so hard for you to
State your case when
I'm inviting you to
Say it all right to my face and
I'll take it on the chin
It's OK, I'm prepared for the worst

Take off the gloves and lean right into me
Show me your worst
Then we'll both be free to let it go
Just land a few good blows, my sweet

Yeah, yeah, I just wanna fight like we used to
Whoa-yeah, they say breakin' up is hard
But makin' up is just so easy to do
