About I'll Just Take It Out in Love

"I'll Just Take It Out in Love" is a love song by George Jones. It rose to #11 when it was released by Epic Records in 1978. I was written by Bob McDill. The song, which celebrates domestic tranquility, could not have been more different from what Jones was experiencing in his personal life at the time; the singer was penniless, addicted to alcohol and cocaine, and quickly earning a reputation as the most undependable live performer in show business. However, despite how much he abused himself, his vocal abilities remained stellar. In 2006 he explained to Billboard magazine, "I would say 90% of the time I would be in pretty damn good shape when I went into the studio. I did have a little sense, not a whole lot. But I would still have to have a little build-up of courage, three or four drinks [throughout] the session time. I don't know, it seemed to mellow you out and relax you a little more, and you would even feel your songs better."

I gave you love when you were lonely
And I gave you strength when times were bad
I've been a daddy to your children
And I've dried your tears when you were sad

But darling you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
Darling I'll just take it out in love

I've been your friend when you were troubled
And I've stood by you when things went wrong
I've picked you up each time you stumbled
When you were weak then I was strong

But darling you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
I'll just take it out in love
Darling I'll just take it out in love
