Take it on
That masquerade that you're wearing
That torch for her that you're carrying
Keeps you believing lusty seething
Come on and make my day sunny
In every beehive there's honey
You've been rejected but your
heart's too protected
Take it off, take it off that guard you
wear around your heart
Take it off, take it off that thought you
wear around your heart
Take it off, take the shield from around
you that bound you
Come on and take it off,
take the shield from around you that bound you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Take it all
That shield of fear that bound you
Won't let my arms out around you
You keep on resistin' but
I'll keep on insistin'
Take it off, take it off,
that guard you wear around your heart
Take it off, take it off,
that guard you wear around your heart
Take it off!
Take the shield from the one
who's got it on you
Why don't you take it off?
Take the shield from the one who's got it on
you
Take it off
That masquerade that you're wearin'
That torch, the heart that you're carryin'
Keeps you believin'
love's deceivin'
Come on and make my day, sonny
In every beehive there's honey
You've been rejected but you're hard to
protectin'
You
