Lyrics The John Butler Trio

The John Butler Trio

Gonna Take It

Smile your lovely smile

And tell me of tomorrows for a while And hold my hand

And tell me, tell me, tell me you understand

'Cos I know your name

And there ain't no one else

I'd trust now with this shame

So, so good woman, open up your heart

And I will take it back to the beginning I will

Yes I am gonna take it

Gonna take it

Gonna take it

Right back from the start

Gonna take it

Gonna take it

Gonna take it right back from the start

'Cos I am weary and I am torn

Been fighting a war that started before yes I was born

And now before it tears my heart clean apart

This is my proclaimation

This is me

She said taste the spice

Don't just hang it up in the corner

Where you think it looks nice

And ah say what needs to be said

'Coz youre health man is your wealth

And you're a long time dead

Yes I am gonna take it

Gonna take it

Gonna take it

Right back from the start

Gonna take it

Gonna take it

Gonna take it right back from the start
