RIP IT OUT
Ace Frehley, Sue Kelly, Larry Kelly

[Rhy. Fig 1] 

[Rhy. Fig 2a] (3x)
Now I know, you've been cheatin' and lyin' all the time 
I didn't know you were gonna be so unkind 
I've been trying just to find out how we went wrong 
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
But I know that I can't trust you girl anymore 
[Rhy. Fig 3]

[Rhy. Fig 4] (2x) 
Rip it out, take my heart, you wanted it from the start 
You got it now, so goodbye, so rip it out, watch me cry 
[Rhy. Fig 5]

[Rhy. Fig 2a] (3x)
It's so sad, I'm not glad to be with you today 
And it's bad, 'cos I can't stop the pain day by day 
If I knew how to stop you, I don't think I'd try 
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
I think it's better if we just part and don't say goodbye 
[Rhy. Fig 3]

[Rhy. Fig 4] (2x)
Rip it out, take my heart, you wanted it from the start 
You got it now, so goodbye, so rip it out, watch me cry 
[Rhy. Fig 5]
I hope you suffer!

[Rhy. Fig 4] (4x)
Rip it out, take my heart, you wanted it from the start 
You got it now, so goodbye, so rip it out, watch me cry
Rip it out, take my heart, you wanted it from the start 
You got it now, so goodbye, so rip it out, watch me cry
