[English]

Rick Astley & Rob Fisher

She comes home in the morning light

Tries to hide the secret of last night

Tells a tale of working late

Says the things she knows I hate

Why should I convince myself

That she loves me and no one else

Feels like time to break the chains

I wont be fooled again

Gonna take my time

Gonna take what's mine

I'm gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna keep my pride

Gonna move right out yeah

...

When we kiss there's no flame

But I believe I'm not to blame

When we touch its by mistake

Tenderness she just can't fake

Who does she think I am

To let her love another man

I won't take another day

I just refuse to stay

Gonna take my time

Gonna take what's mine

I'm gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna keep my pride

Gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna take what's mine

I'm gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna keep my pride

Gonna move right out yeah

...

Oh I love her I really care

The days so long when she's not there

But I believe it just aint right

To see her with someone else tonight

Hear me now

Gonna take my time

Gonna take what's mine

I'm gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna keep my pride

Gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna take what's mine

I'm gonna move right out

Gonna take my time

Gonna keep my pride

Gonna move right out yeah
