"Till I Can't Take It Anymore"
(originally by Ben E. King)

Let's not fight it anymore
Unpack your bags and close the door
I'll never leave you, no, no
Though you lied right from the start
I can't convince my foolish heart
Not to believe you, uh-uh

You've got two good women strung out
And there's not the slightest doubt
That others have loved you before
Oh, but you work your thing so well
I dream of heaven but live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore

If I had one ounce of pride
I'd stand up or step aside
But, boy, I still love you, can't you tell it
So, I'll accept the crumbs that you drop
'Cause I'm a fool and I can't stop
Or rise above you, no, no

So, let her speak up for herself
I speak for me and no one else
'Cause I'm a beggar knockin' on your door
Oh, but you work your thing so well
I dream of heaven but live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore

I'm too far gone to turn around
To let myself up off the ground
And start all over, over and over and over
She or I must win or lose
No matter which one you may choose
You're gonna be in clover, you know you will

Now you're making up your mind
And I'll be praying all the time
That you'll never ever let me go
Oh, but you work your thing so well
I dream of heaven but live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore

Oh, but you work your thing so well
I dream of heaven but live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore
