Take Off Your Make Up

McKinley Jackson, James Reddick

Take off your make-up and let your hair down
No more will heartache be comin' around
Gonna chase your misery out of town
It's time to live
Ooh

Take off your make-up and turn off that frown
I've got some loving that won't let you down
I got love that's rarely ever found
Come and live

You're the life of the party
Pretending nothing's wrong
When all the time your pain goes on
Don't look now, but your loneliness is showing
It's in your face, girl
The heartache's a-glowing

You can't find yourself and don't know who you are
You're still wishin' on shooting stars
Let me rewrite your life with love and understanding (trust in me)
Hey, trust in me (trust in me)
Baby, trust in me (trust in me)

Take off your make-up and let your hair down
No more will heartache be comin' around
Gonna chase your misery out of town
It's time to live
Ooh, baby

Take off your make-up and turn off that frown
I've got some loving that won't let you down
I got love that's rarely ever found
Come and live, ooh

You spent your life on some bad love you bought
And you go on running, afraid of being caught
Unlock your heart just for a little while
Give me a chance, girl, to make you smile
Tryna fool yourself is just a waste of time
And givin' up is a crime, when you can be a man
Before you throw in the towel, try on my love for a while
(Trust in me) Baby, won't you trust in me?
(Trust in me) Hey, trust in me
(Trust in me) Hey

Take off your make-up and let your hair down
No more will heartache be comin' around
Gonna chase your misery out of town
It's time to live
Ooh

Take off your make-up and let your hair down
No more will heartache be comin' around
Gonna chase your misery, chase it babe (out of town)
(It's time to live) Come on and live
Ooh

Take off your make-up and turn off that frown
(I've got some loving) I got some loving (that won't let you down)
It won't let you down, babe
(I got love) I got love
(Rarely ever found) You ain't gonna find it, baby
Oh, ooh
(Take off your make-up) Take it off
