[Verse 1]
Watching the emotion in my foolish lover's gaze
All his senseless notions, I rebuffed with one close shave
Learning and discernment soon come to replace his pride
Watching his implosion, as he turns around, I say

[Chorus]
"Take my guest away"
"Take my guest away"

[Verse 2]
Why should I keep dating, filled with dissipating love?
Never had the craving to become his faithful dove
Sterling I'd be earning — knew some secret blazed inside
Watching him so broken, as he turns to me, I say

[Chorus]
"Bye, love — Take my guest away"

[Bridge]
Truly, now at last I've solved you
In time, you slipped up, babe
When your hair was slashed, I called you
And turned you in for pay
And so my fortune's made — I am unafraid
[Chorus]
"Take my guest away"
"Take my guest away"

[Verse 3]
Watched him very closely when this foolish thug first came
Wanted my devotion — Strongman, that's a love in vain
Spurning Samson’s yearning though my secret raged inside
Lock him in some dungeon — I'll return someday, can't stay

[Chorus]
"Take my guest away"
"Bye, love — take my guest away"

[Outro Chorus]
"Bye, love — take my guest away — bye, love"
"Move on — take my guest away — bye, love"
"Take my guest away"...
