The Lyrics
I really didn't like when my parents take the television away for bad behaviors when I was eleven.
Baby, I don't understand
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands
This time will be the last, I fear
unless I make it all too clear
I need you so, oh oh oh...
Take this T.V. away
And learn to watch again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take this T.V. away
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
And make it right
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Whoa, I need you so
Take this T.V. away
And learn to watch again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take this T.V. away
You got to learn to watch
Learn to live and you're so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in, yeah yeah...
Let us in...
Let us in...
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Take this T.V. away
And learn to watch again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take this T.V. away
You got to learn to watch
Learn to live and you're so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us
And let us in, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah...
Oooh...
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands
This time will be the last, I fear
unless I make it all too clear
I need you so, oh oh oh...
Take this T.V. away
And learn to watch again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take this T.V. away
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
And make it right
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Whoa, I need you so
Take this T.V. away
And learn to watch again
