I See You Can't Take It Lyrics

I been down and I ain't through
I see you can't take it
Tryin' to love and baby, you
I see you can't take it

I can tell at a glance
By the way you kiss and then
I'd be silly to take a chance
On breakin' my plans in two

I'd rather have no gal at all
I see you can't take it
If I trust my heart to you
I know you will break it

I can tell by your eyes
You's the devil in disguise
Good luck, goodbye
I see you can't take it

Yeah, yeah, get it

I'd rather have no gal at all
I see you can't take it
If I trust my heart to you
I know you will break it

I can tell by your eyes
You's the devil in disguise
Good luck, goodbye
I see you can't take it.

Yea, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
