Take Off Your Make Up - Lamont Dozier

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
