You make my teeth clinch and my hands shake
Do you ever see what you do to me?
Wearing me out, just wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down

You're impossible to love me
So impossible to win or breathe
I'm wearing you out just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want

I make your lips moan, and your moans quake
Try to think through
What I can do to you
It's wearing you thin
Can I begin to wear you out

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want

I'm impossible to figure out
So impossible you had your doubt

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything honey it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want from me it means nothing now
Take everything honey it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want from me

Take what you want from me
