Cut It Out - The Go-Betweens

What would you do If I told you

To run from him?

What would vou say

If I told you to Abandon him?

I khow you drink,

You’ve had a lot to drink,

Do you have to talk like that?

If you go to parties

And cut your hair

People grab their hats.

Ah, but I know with a heart like that

In times like these with a heart like

That you cut it out.

What would you do If I told you

To pack your bags?

What would you say

If I told you

To take off those rags?

I know you’re down,

I know you’re blue,

You broke his spell.

If you want life

You take that life

And you live it well.

Ah, but I know with a heart like that

In times like these with a heart like

That you cut it out.

Have you lost vour marbles?

You’re not that crazy yet.

Listen to me, don’t you forget.

What would you say

If I told you

You had to run from him?

Ah, but I know with a heart like that

In times like these with a heart like

That you cut it out.
