Raw / stripped tag_description?

Hi all!

I have a small bit of php code in my header that displays different meta descriptions on different pages. The relevant part is like this:

elseif(is_tag()) { echo tag_description(); }

The problem is that tag_description outputs <p>Some description here</p> instead of Some description here. And I don’t like how that looks.

Is there anyway I can output the raw text without the <p></p>?

Thanks!
