You’ve Got to Take It (mono) (2007 digital remaster) Songtext
von Manfred Mann

Now when you call her on the phone
And she hangs up on you
What can you do when you love her?
Sit tight and hold your peace
You know you can′t complain
'Cause if you do, she′ll leave you for another

You got to take it
You got to take it
Be a man, understand
You got to take it

Now when you see her one day
Out with another guy
And nothing you can do but grieve
Now don't you say a word
She'll pretend she hasn′t heard
And you love her much too much to ever leave


You got to take it
You got to take it
Just be cool, that′s the rule
You got to take it

You got to take it
You got to take it

Now I know you wanna cry
Feels like you wanna die
Yes, I know that all these things are true
Don't imagine I don′t understand
'Cause I′ll tell you son and man
Many, many times I felt the same way too

You got to take it
You got to take it
Don't get mad, yes it′s sad
But you got to take it
Be a man, understand
You got to take it
