Take me, I'm yours if you'll take me, I want you to make me a part of your heart.
And hold me, I dreamed you would hold me, now really enfold me, say we'll never part.
All the love I have to give, I want to give to you,
And as long as I shall live, I'll only live for you,
Take me, and never forsake me,
Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me
There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss
Take me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine
Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine
Take me take me to your darkest room close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I hear your voice I'll be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert a thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile it would be like heaven to me
There's not any mountain too rugged to climb no desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love I could bear any call
Take me to Siberia and to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California as long as I knew you were mine
There's not any mountain...
Take me
Take me take me to your darkest room close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I heard your voice I'd be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert a thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile it would be like heaven to me
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb no desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love I could bear any loss
Take me to Siberia and to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California as long as I knew you were mine
There's not any mountain...
Put your hand in my pocket
Grab onto my rocket

Sittin' in the back
Her head down in my lap
The moonlight shinin' down on her hair
The radio was playin'
Her fingertips were strayin'
Her mama didn't she was there, no
She said 'Oh baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Oh, baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah'
So take me any way you want me

Oh baby, I've got all this love, it's more than enough
oh baby, I'm filled with desire, I'm caught in your fire
oh baby, you've got the power to turn me on
You knew it, you looked in my eyes, you read in my mind
you move me, spinning me 'round, around and around
oh you have the power to rule my mind and soul
Take me, I'll be your woman
use me, make me your own
take me, make me your woman
love me now, and don't leave me alone
Oh baby, there's something inside, that's I just can't hide

love me now, and don't leave me alone
love me now, and don't leave me alone
love me now, and don't leave me alone
Take me when I’m young and true
Was it me or was it you?
Take me when I’m not so strong
Why has it taken you so long?
Take me when you feel I’ve gone
I always knew I could be someone
Take me if you think you’re right
Do it now before it’s light
Take me if you think I’m sweet
Though my life feels incomplete
Take me when I wish to live
For I still have this to give
Take me when I’m young and true
Was it me or was it you
Take me when I start to cry
Take me, take me, don’t ask why

[Verse3: Sizzla] – 2X
Let's go somewhere out of here
Girl let us go to the atmosphere
Would you like that little ma?
Just you and I so free
I always wondered if I could give
Enough love for a woman to live on
But as I grow, as I learn and live,
I find it's best to forget and forgive.
I could be dancing on the ocean.
I could be singing to the sea.
But I am poetry in motion.
I'm yours!
When I was young I was so filled with love,
Jealousy stung but never deep enough
'cause I feel rain falling from above.
I only thirst for your to share my cup.
I could be dancing on the ocean.
I could be singing to the sea.
But I am poetry in motion.
Lying stagnant, lost, but found never gaining enough ground
Salvation from prayer on my knees but I can't take the monotony
Where else could I go to the one that I know I need to go farther if it's no bother
Take me higher
Step by step, just lead me on the path that I've been on so long
Hear you voice
A gentle wisper
Calls from deep whithin
On my knees my heart it crys out
I'm Longing to draw near
Hide me now under the shadow of Your wings
Lord into your presence I will run
Take me away with you
I wanna be close to you
Take me away into the secret place
Take me into your arms
Here in your presence I belong
Take me away into the secret place
Let Your glory fill this place oh god
Fill this place
Final
Take me away with you
I wanna be close to you
Take me away into the secret place
Take me into your arms
Here in your presence I belong
Take me away into the secret place
Ohhh Lord
The secret place
Wanna go there with you
The secret place
Take me to the river
and we'll watch the water roll
Take me in your warmth
and you'll fill my empty soul
Come on and take me, take me, take me
Come on and take me, take me, take me
Take me to the ocean
where the water never run
Take me in your love
and I'll be your lifetime friend
Come on and take me, take me, take me
Come on and take me, take me, take me
Take me to the storm
where the thunder meets the light
Take me in your gentle arms
and I'll love you through the night
Come on and take me, take me, take me
Come on and take me, take me, take me
The day is dawning in the rainy park
Trees around, some falling down
It's ok, I don't mind
You can take your clothes and run
Falling over, spinning round
Orange leaves spread on the ground
Sleep in the day
Swim in the night
Light your fires
It could be tragic, today
Take me
Here
Take me
Here
Bowled me over from the start
Poison arrow through the heart
I'll undress you
You'll undress me
The place is dark
No one can see
Lay me down on the grassy ground
Stars aligned for miles around
I don't know you
You don't know me
Who's to know what will be, today?
Take me
Here
Take me
Here
Take me
Here
Take me
girl when we first touched
i felt the magic move me
i wanted you so much
the feeling moved right through me
i guess this must be love baby
so move real close i want to kiss
your lips....here is my love
take me where you want to
Take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
[Chorus:]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
I lit my pain on fire
And I watched it all burn down
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
And theres no one else around
Cause I wanna be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul
[Hook:]
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
[Chorus x2]
I'm burning in the heavens
And I'm drowning in a hell
My soul is in a coma
And none of my friends can tell
That I'm reaching out and getting nothing
This is just a story of a broken soul
[Hook]
[Chorus x2]
Don't shut me out
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
[Hook]
[Chorus x2]
[Hook]
Take Me
Playa, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Take me place where I ain't gotta be sexy
Just so I can be considered a lady
Please tell me why the world is so shady, baby
I wanna go to a world where I ain't gotta be a freak ho
Just so I can be noticed by people
Please tell me if you know
Because I wanna go, wanna go, yeah, yeah
Why is it lately?
These jealous hoes gotta hate me
Niggas won't give me no space
They suffocate me
I try to be myself niggas won't let me
They'd rather sweat me
Ice, freeze, and briget me
But I ain't impressed with your hot car
Nigga I ain't got the lock jaws
I ain't fixin' to drop draw's
These niggas chase me like a cop-cop
In and out the Char' bottle
They wanna ball with a hot star
They offer me grands for one night stands
Fuck that one night plan
I'm looking for that one right man
To save the day, wrap me in his arms
Take me away, late plight till the break in the day
Come on
Take me to a place where all my girls on top
Take me to a place where all the Benzes drop top
Take me to a place where I ain't gotta trick for grands
Take me to a place where my friend won't fuck my man
Take me to a place where it's women with no hoes
Take me to a place where the thugs get early parole
Take me to a place where we ball, buying cases
Diamond faces, united with all races
Take me to a place where ain't no chalk traces or court cases
Or black faces on front pages
Take me to a place where the haters don't hate
Take me away, Lord knows I can't wait, come on
Every day I gotta let it go
And spend the money on the one way ticket
To a world where shit is better yo
I be the same but a better ho
And do a version of Nann with Kirk Franklin for the chedda yo
They'll show my video on VH1, diva week
Me, Whitney, then Aretha speak
I be on top of the world and still be a freak
Although I'm doing my thing
I see I gotta eat cause where I'm from
Life ain't sweet
Take me, take me baby
Where I wanna go baby
I don't wanna be a freak ho
No more, more
Take me, take me baby
Where I wanna go baby
I don't wanna be a freak ho
Take me take me to your darkest room close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice I'd be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert a thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile that would be like heaven to me
There's not any mountain too rugged to climb no desert too barren to cross
And darling if you would just show a sign of love I could bear it all
Take me to Siberia and to coldest weather of the wintertime
That would be just like spring in California as long as I knew you were mine
He came walking through fire
I saw him walk on water too
A kind of living wire he's not like me and you... yeah, true
You can't demand reaction
He just holds the line
To get his satisfaction,
It's only a matter of time
A matter of time
No more, lonely figures in the night
Gotta find a way to break out free, yeah!
Why don't you
Take me, take me, take me to the wall of the big emotion
Take me, take me so I can see
The mirrors of destiny
He just gotta snap his fingers
And everything's just there around
Be careful, never hide
The sun before his eyes, before his eyes
No more lonely creatures in the night
Gotta find a way to break out free, yeah!
Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me ...
Oh ...
CHORUS
Come on, take me, take me, and make me feel your music.
Wanna get in deep when it tastes so sweet,
Wanna lose my head tonight.
Come on, take me, take me, make me feel your music.
Well we ain't gonna stop if we're feelin' hot,
Gotta' lose our heads tonight.
How many times I tried to make it happen?
But you always find a way to say good-night.
Tonight we're here alone, your mama's out, there's nobody home,
I'm a harmless kinda crazy so it's alright.
CHORUS
I've seen you give me looks that I've read about in books,
And I finally had to make you play your hand.
There's a reason that you're here, and I think it's perfectly clear.
But it don't take much to make me understand.
Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me, come make love, make love with me.
Oh ...
CHORUS
CHORUS
(to fade)
"Old ain't a word the I'm fond of," he said.
"And these days I've begun to lose count."
Mumbling she rolls in her wheelchair, and says,
"I'm afraid that they've closed my account."
There's a blur that occurs in the line of their life
That decays the whole notion of sense
And they call to the past, insisting that it last,
While they're climbing down reality's fence
Singing with me
Take me
Take me
Write my name in the most Holy Tome
And when it's my time
To assume the sublime,
Take me to my promised home
And their hands aren't gnarled, they're in love with the earth
And they're dying to go there again
We say the essence of life is strong in our youth,
Slowly buried under wrinkles of skin
But there's God in the way that life comes to an end,
In the way that it draws to a close,
In the saying of soul to the house of the skin,
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
And I promise you, girl I promise
To love you as if your heart were my own
And we're not alone no not anymore.
I can't believe that I found you
I can't believe that you're here
After all that we've been through to have you so near
And to hold you so close
I can't believe I still need you
And that you feel the same
After all that we've been through
I know it's a shame to throw it away.
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
You're the only one, and I promise you, I promise
To love you as if your heart were my own
And we're not alone no not anymore.
To remember and cherish the things
Recollect, and reflect all our dreams
Spend a lifetime if needed to see
Everything that we know we can be.
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
And I promise you girl, I promise
To love you as if your heart were my own
And we're not alone no not anymore.
Look back with sweet, so sweet emotions
Look back with no regrets
Take a real hard look and tell me
Tell me if, we, we can forget
'Cause I know that we can
And that you'll see things my way
And that we'll come to terms
And I know that there's still
So much we can learn
So much we can learn.
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
You are the only one, you're the only one
That I want to love
Love you as if your heart were my own
And we're not alone no not anymore
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
Baby, baby yeah
Love you as if your heart were my own
Heart were my own 'cause we're not alone no
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
And I promise you, girl I promise
To love you as if your heart were my own
Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know
Baby don't you know
Love you as if your heart were my own
I fancied you for a very long time
You finally got around to makin' your move
But when you picked me up, you looked so fairy
I wish we could dispense with the preliminaries
Oh, so much for subtlety
I can't wait for you to get your hands on me
Oh, take me, take me, please
Oh, take me, take me
Don't leave me at the door with a good night kiss
It's guys like you can give a girl a complex
I've never been so in love before
I'm not playin' hard to get, that's for sure
Oh, so much formality
I can't wait for you to put your hands on me
Oh, take me, take me, please
Oh, take me, why don't you take me?
Oh, take me, come on boy
Oh, take me, take me
Oh, don't let me scare you away
It's not like me to come on strong
But love like this just can't be wrong
So I'm gonna make it easy
Oh, take me, take me
Oh, take me, take me
Oh, oh, take me, take me
Oh, take me, come on take me
It's the holdin' back makes me want you more
I'm not playin' hard to get
Oh, why don't you take me, boy?
Oh, oh, take me, come on, take me
Oh, take me, why don't you take me?
Can you hear me?
Does anyone around me feel the way that I feel now?
'Cause from the window where I sometimes cry
I just want to see your face tonight
And I'm willing to lose everything I am
'Cause I need you more than ever
I need your help to find where I've been going wrong so far
Take me under your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on 'cause it will be alright
You're not alone
When you're near me, I feel like I just found me
In the traces of the boy from yesterday
But in a world that is so black and white
I will take the steps to change my life
And I won't be coming back to here again
And I need your loving hand to guide me
Through the maze of all the things inside me
Then I'll know that I'm alright
'Cause I need you more than ever
I need your help to find where I'll be going wrong so far
Take me under your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on 'cause it will be alright
You're not alone
Please help me get from worse to better
Before these tears soak through this lonely sweater
And let me know that I'm alright
I still have one strike of this match left
And I'm holding on to my last breath
And it's getting a little dark around to see here
Take me under your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on 'cause it will be alright
You're not alone
Take me under your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on, it will be alright
You're not alone
And you'll be here forever
Forever you'll stay
And you promised to love me
You'll love me always
You'll love me for always
You'll love me for always
Always
I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor
Cry my eyes out, in my private little war
Well it seems I've been a soldier
Heaven knows I've been no saint
In my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paint
To you this has no meaning the armistice laid down
The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound
'cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
Well now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mind
And way off in the distance the air raid sirens whine
And they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shell
You drag me to your safety from this my front line hell
'cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
Left road maps of scars that I never could ignore
'cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
I just don't really need it
Like I don't need you
Yes I don't really need it
And be mean to you
not long for this life
not long for this world
wooooahh t-t-take me
take me back again
I'm not your college boyfriend
I ain't your lover too
I'm happy when I ignore that
'Cause I've been playin' the fool
You can say when the song is over, its over
not long for this life
not long for this world
wooooahh t-t-take me
take me back again
I just don't really need it
Like I don't need you
Yes I don't really need it
Like I've been needing you
you can't sing when the song is over, its over
not long for this life
not long for this world
wooooahh t-t-take me goddammit
take me back again
not long for this life
not long for this world
wooooahh t-t-take me
take me back again
take me back again
Don't go, don't go, don't go
Baby, baby, baby
I'm lonely, can't you see?
Baby, baby, baby
Come give your love to me
'Cause I'm just a prisoner
Don't set me free
Before you turn around
Take one look at me
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time?
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time
Before you go?
Baby, baby, baby
Chained and bound, can't you see?
Baby, baby, baby
Chained and bound, can't you see?
'Cause I'm just a prisoner
Don't set me free
Before you turn around
Take one look at me
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time?
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time
Before you go?
'Cause I'm just a prisoner
Don't set me free
Before you turn around
Take one look at me
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time?
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time?
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time?
Take me in your arms
Won't you love me one more time
Before you go?
Baby, baby, baby, come
Baby, baby, baby
Riding on a boat of time into the future
waiting for the day to go under
Inside the great big ocean
we look for the origin
We're riding, riding and we wonder
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've get out again
We're looking for the reason
for the big wheel's spinning around? out ancestries found
Take me down? to where the water flows
Take me up? to where the big wind blows
and make me melt inside of you
Take me out? come on and take me into
We're passengers of time
succeeding our fathers
We're standing in a queue and we rack
our brains over riddles, problems and solutions
At any day we reach the track
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've get out again
All we know is that
we really don't know nothing at all? face to the wall
Take me down? to where the water flows
Take me up? to where the big wind blows
and make me melt inside of you
TAKE ME
Tommy Dorsey
Take me, I'm yours if you'll take me;
Please darling, awake me,
And set my heart aflame.
Hear me, I'm pleading for your love
I'm so hungry for love,
Can't you feel the same?
I don't ask for guarantee,
Promise me not a thing,
All I ask is won't you please
Let me hear angels sing.
Take me, "tho you may forsake me, who cares
If you take me, and love me tonight
I'm gonna' be cruisin' the coast, drinking my pop.
I'm gonna' be kissin' all the girls, I'm gonna' be, I'm gonna' be singing
All the rock.
I know you are all that's true,
'cause I'm feeling fine all the time.
Turn me over now
In a blessed state.
Awaken my fate.
Take, me take me, I will go anywhere you be.
To the stars or far below, you know what I mean.
You bring me up with lots of luck.
Like I'm feeling fine, most of the time.
I'll close my eyes and jump
To a blessed state.
Awaken my fate.
Take, me take me, I will go anywhere you be.
Take it from me come take me home
I'll be the one for you one for you one for you
Trembling skin, right to the bone
Bite into me I am ripe for the taking
Twist me, turn me, throw me around
Drunk in this potion of loaded emotion
Beautiful beautiful beautiful lies lies lies all lies
Take me, take me, take me
Won't you take me, take me, won't you Lord
Take me, take me, take me
Won't you take me, take me, won't you Lord
Something so warm, so soon the cold
You said you loved me yes you said you'd call me now
How can you go leave me here
Hungry and hunting yes desperate and loathing
Beautiful beautiful beautiful lies lies lies all lies
I can not stand this dumb look in your eye oh
Take me, take me, take me
Won't you take me, take me, won't you Lord
Take me, take me, take me
Won't you take me, take me, won't you Lord
Could of been should have been
Back and forth round again
Round and round circles been waiting for you
Oh my knees, you retreat
Now I'm praying for mercy mercy mercy
I'm pleading with you oh
Take me, take me, take me
Won't you take me, take me, won't you Lord
Take me, take me, take me
Take me, take me as I am
take me, don't let go my hand
take the part of me that strives to reach the light
take my hand and lead me through the darkest night
hold me, when I'm feeling low
hold me, never let me go
hold the part of me that fears the setting sun
hold my hand and tell of better days to come
everyone I know plays games
everybody's so untrue
when it's over what remains
nobody but me and you
hold me, when I fall apart
hold me, closer to your heart
hold the part of me that vibrates when I sing
hold me so I'm not afraid of anything
everyone I know plays games
everybody's so untrue
when it's over what remains
nobody but me and you
so take me, take me as I am
take me, don't let go my hand...
take the part of me that strives to reach the light
take my hand and lead me through the darkest night
take me as I am
(never let me go...)
(Stephony Smith/Bob DePiero)
Forty miles outside of Houston's city limits,
Eldorado with a full tank of gas in it,
It'll take us where it thinks we need to go,
All we got to do is keep it in the middle of the road.
Take me up to Wichita,
Hold me in Niagara Falls,
Rock me in Memphis,
Kiss me down in New Orleans,
Marry me in the Keys,
I don't care where we go,
As long as you take me.
And baby, make a left on exit 98,
My sister told me that the etouffee is great,
Yeah, we could split a cold one to wash it down,
And watch the sunset on the face of a sleepy little town.
Take me up to Wichita,
Hold me in Niagara Falls,
Rock me in Memphis,
Kiss me down in New Orleans,
Marry me in the Keys,
I don't care where we go,
As long as you take me.
Ninety miles an hour,
One kiss every minute,
It's my favorite car,
As long as you're in it.
Take me up to Wichita,
Hold me in Niagara Falls,
Rock me in Memphis,
Kiss me down in New Orleans,
Marry me in the Keys,
I don't care where we go,
As long as you take me.
I've spent all day trying to decide
About the things you said last night
Did they mean nothing
Or were they filled with hidden clues?
And can you really have stayed till three
Orange slices and that Fall LP
I feel so lonely when I get back from seeing you
And when someone brings up your name
I can feel myself begin to change
It's like a panic
And a rushing sound in my head
A huge weight pressing on my chest
And now I spend hours trying to look my best
But I still meet you the day before I wash my hair
Oh won't you put that down and take me, I'm yours
When will we have this chance again
Oh please just put that down and take me, I'm yours
We might never have this chance again
That must've been a knowing look
Oh when you moved to pass your friend his book
And oh that feeling
When your hand returns to mine
I think I might as well stay out here
Oh but, can't you kiss me just once properly
Well of course I mean it! I think about you all the time
Oh won't you put that down and take me, I'm yours
When will we have this chance again
Oh please just put that down and take me, I'm yours
We might never have romance again
Warm hands and the things you say
You get lovelier every day
Warm hands and the things you say
Don't want your world
Don't want nothing in it
I seen your world
Don't want nothing in it
I been around
Don't know why we're in it
I still don't know
Just what you mean to me
Up in the air, under the sea
Take me, hold me
Take me, holf me
That's the fun of being wrong
That's the fun of being wrong
Take me, hold me (etc.)
Is that so wrong
Is that so wrong
Here am I (etc)
Tip (etc)
HA!HA!HA!
Tap tapestries of music aimed to please
A big trapeze
Up and down with ease
Seet melodies
You love the tease
That's the fun of being wrong (etc)
Take me, hold me (etc)
Is that so wrong?
Waiting for the light to change from red,
Thinking over all the things you said to me,
You said to me…
All your dreams are dying in the sun,
Pretty soon there’ll be nowhere left to run away,
To run away…
Packed your bags to leave by the morning,
Destination far off and foreign,
It’s now never or now…
Baby won’t you take me,
Baby won’t you take me,
With you, with you,
Baby won’t you take me,
Baby won’t you take me,
With you, with you…
‘Cause I don’t wanna be alone tonight,
I don’t wanna be alone tonight,
Baby won’t you take me,
Baby won’t you take me,
With you, with you…
Memories of a life I leave behind,
Take a souvenir to remind me of, the ones I love…
Feel my heart it beats like a stopwatch,
Running out of time with each tick tock,
I want to get out I want to go
take me in silence I will hear take me near you far is just a place that hides in me
I want to break down I want to fly
take me for granted I'll give in take me long I'll find roads within your dreaming eyes
take away this noise take off my clothes I can be with you in the naked sound
I want to break out I want to shout

( Live 2006 )
Just please be real
Don't sit on the sidelines and watch me walk away
Please just do it
Do it to me
Do what you feel and ask me later
Take me please take me
Don't talk, don't talk
Make me forget about us
Make me forget about me
Please just do it
Do it to me
You don't have to worry anymore
Take me please take me
Just move your feet upon this floor
I just need to know for sure
Maybe we'll find
Maybe we'll find
Don't promise me nothing
Just be you
Don't stand on the sidelines and watch me walk away
Please just do it
Do it to me
Do what you want and think later
Take me, to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very moment that I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more
Take me, to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment that I saw your smile
It'd be like heaven to me
There's not any mountain too rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darling, if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear the load
Take me, to Siberia
In the coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
To know your love was still mine
There's not any mountain too rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darling, if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear the load
Take me, to Siberia
In the coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
To know your love would be mine
It would be just like spring in California
Put on your best dress darling
Can't you see the time is right
There will never be another tonight
If you got your motor runnin'
Then I got my engines on
Say the word and darlin' we'll be gone
Outside the world is waitin'
But we won't lose control
So come on now - let the good times roll
You gotta ride your broom right into my room
Kick off your shoes make yourself at home
Wave your little wand - weave a little spell
Make a little magic - raise some hell
There will never be another tonight
C'mon baby - hold on tight
There will never be another tonight
I don't care if it's wrong or right
We got nothin' to lose just me and you
In your wildest dreams...
There'll never be another tonight
Who cares about tomorrow
Let the wind fill your sails
A runaway train ridin' on the rails
We got the bases loaded
Home run - power play
Tonight's the night we're goin' all the way
You gotta ride your broom right into my room
Kick off your shoes make yourself at home
Wave your little wand - weave a little spell
Make a little magic - raise some hell
There will never be another tonight
C'mon baby - hold on tight
There will never be another tonight
Flash your diamonds shine your lights
There'll never be another tonight
I don't care if it's wrong or right
Cause we got nothin' to lose just me and you
In your wildest dreams...
There'll never be another tonight
Some people they're looking for paradise
Others they're looking for inner light
Me I'm just having the time of my life
I'm headin' out, to check it out
Check it out!!
(Baby) Yea, though through the valley
In the shadow of darkness, praying to God heartless
(Take me) Wake me up, don't foresake me
(Take me) I pray hard, don't leave me waiting, please
(Baby) Yea, though through the valley
In the shadow of darkness, praying to God heartless
(Take me) Wake me up, don't foresake me
(Take me) I pray hard, don't leave me waiting, please
Oh lord, I'm having issues, more deep than American missiles
Shooting commuter planes and filing em missions official
I've hit depression hard and started to pick at the scabs
From the scar, I'm a mess addressing pain in a bar, I confess
'Cause all the rest just mar shit, chest in a cast
Feeling urges just to test out a casket, bless me I'm blasphemous
Jesus pass the fifth, I...have to get lit
Masochist self I'm only half of the health I was born with
(Baby) Save me, take me up high like 'dro
But way far past the stars and the sky
I'm blinding pain like I'm a junkie shooting up with
Emotional novacaine, I'm floating provoking the angels to jump me
In Lehman's terms, face been blurred, even early
I scratched crayon in between the holy word I pray on, but still
(Baby) Three gone, and maybe I'm in barren land
God help me, I'm having trouble with your master plan so
(Take Me) Through the shadows of valley of death, God
(Take me) when I'm shooting, taking last breaths hard
(Baby) I want to walk through the valleys praying lord
Will you help me, save me God, won't you tell me, tell me
(Take me) 'Cause I'm losing my faith, bless me
(Take me) 'Cause this world just want to test me
You see this dirty knife on the floor, this chrome nine in my hand
Right now, like a step outside,
My heart beats genocide,
Tearing out all the crippled walls,
Drawing fire from the mortal flaws.
To take it in on the chin, don't want to face it,
We generate our debate to try to place it.
Fear the eyes of the blind and the fallen;
We cauterize as the dream comes crashing down.
And like a poison we'll coerce you
To the very brink of salient pathologies (your own disease).
And with the whole wide world against you,
Is it any wonder that it brings you to your knees?
Make war on the fractured climes,
Where the infirmed all run on time.
I've cried for much less than you
And taken all your pain.
Just like a lie you want to throw into the fire,
That's how it feels to be exposed as a liar.
You fall in line when there's nothing real;
It takes a hold of everything you feel.
And like a poison we'll coerce you
To the very brink of salient pathologies (your own disease).
And with the whole wide world against you,
Is it any wonder that it brings you to your knees?
Your words are not my life.
No time, gotta get it right.
Your fear surrounds my soul.
Your fear creates my light.
Your words are not my life.
No time, gotta it right.
Your words are not my life.
No time, gotta live but there's no...
Time will take me down, it breaks me,
Drowning in civility and losses justified.
Words like tokens, eyes wide open,
I'm gone, gone and going. Pay the way with change
I had to leave I was talking strange
Won't be back soon, so please don't wait for me
Love all the same, all the same and more
You've gotta' come get me or someone will take me, I'm wasting away to bone
You know I'm barely a burden and my arms have been hurting, a wandering man stuck home.
Take me to the town I can, I can miss
Take me to the town I can, I can miss
Another wasted day, another dead end place, another push away (push away)
There's gas on my shoes, blood in my veins
I'm fuming and wide eyed for feeling estranged
I say it's not for nothing, not for nothing
Another war to wage, to wage
It sinks like bricks, it lives like lions
It sinks like bricks from hollowed houses, hammered on, whittled down
It lives like lions before they pounce with hairs on end, tightly wound
It sinks like bricks from hollowed houses worn down
Worn down, worn down (take me to the town)
You've gotta' come get me or someone will take me, I'm wasting away to bone
Smooth-talkin', slow-walkin' tell no lie
Cool is the fool with the eagle eye
Spending my time
Drunk and living fast
Nobody knows what lies in my past
I'm lookin' back
My life is cryin' out
What did I do
What was I all about?
Oh, take me
Save me from my misery
Oh, take me
I want to be free
Oh, take me
Take my hand and help me on
Oh, take me
I will soon be gone
Good-timin', all-nightin' in the shade
No thinkin' nobody's had it made
Stole no control on my evil hands
I tossed a coin blind to where it lands
My how the time flies
It just passes by
I turned around
It looked me in the eye
Oh, take me
Save me from my misery
Oh, take me
I want to be free
Oh, take me
Take my hand and help me on
Oh, take me
I will soon be gone
My how the time flies
It just passes by.
I turned around
It looked me in the eye
Oh, take me
Save me from my misery
Oh, take me
I want to be free
Oh, take me
Take my hand and help me on
Oh, take me
(feat. Raphael Saadiq)

I know it's been awhile baby but

[Chorus]
If you wanna know just what you mean to me
Just dream a little dream
And you’ll be my queen, girl you make me scream
Take me with you
Take me with you
I just want to know what’s up and where it’s at
Jus tell me where we’re going
Cause you know I’ll be coming in 5 seconds flat
If you wanna take me, take me where you wanna
Take me, take me anywhere will be alright
Just atke me baby, take me tonight
Take me with you, take me away
Take me with you, take me away, won’t you
Take me, take me with you
Anything you wanna do, I’ll do it with you
Won’t you take me, take me with you
Anything you wanna do, I’ll do it with you
Won’t you take me, take me, take me away
Anywhere you want to go is good with me
Just tell me when and where
When we’ll be leaving and that’s where I’ll be
If you wanna take me anythere’ll be so fine
Just talk me baby, you blow my mind
Take me with you, take me away
Take me with you, take me away, won’t you
Take me, take me with you
Anything you wanna do, I’ll do it with you
Won’t you take me, take me with you
Anything you wanna do, I’ll do it with you
Won’t you take me, take me, take me away
Take me
Won’t you take me, take me with you
Anything you wanna do, I’ll do it with you
Won’t you take me, take me with you
Anything you wanna do, I’ll do it with you
Here in this world
It doesn't take long to discover the pain
I know all about
The heartache that comes with enduring the strain
But there you are holding the innocence
That I used to know
I'm longing to live in your holiness
Safe and sound, I'm letting go
(Chorus)
Take my hand
Take my heart
Take me into your arms where forever is waiting to start
Turning me into every dimension of you I am able to be
Here I am, reaching out, will you please
Take me, Take me
Take me through life
Take me to people that you want me near
Walking with me
Holding my soul through the laughter and tears
Take me to where I am knowing you
in the deepest way
And one day when you say my work is done
My time has come, you'll hear me say
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Lord, give me a heart you can use
I will be reaching for you
Verse 1
It was in November when while out one night with friends
That I saw her there
She was just standing there
something in a distant stare
a faint look of despair
to her I was drawn
asked her was anything was wrong
told her my name said how you do
bouts to say you take care and it was nice to meet you
then she stopped me desperately
as if to say don't go but then she said to me
Chorus
Anywhere you wanna go just take me,
take me
Anywhere you wanna go just take me,
take me
Verse 2
Not know what to say but I could see
she was going through something's and
needed someone to be there to listen
probably wishing that she was someone else
and in my heart I felt bad
and I just knew I had
cause I'd want the same myself
so we got into it
while she talked I thought to myself
How could it be that she had no one
not even a friend to come
and she'd have to turn to me and say
2x's Chorus
Verse 3
Seeking out the wrong kind of attention
always in abusive situations
and don't know how she got it good
was starting to sound like it could be the reason for her misery
slowly I could see she had problems nothing I or anyone
could say or do would help what she was going through
then suddenly, she stood up across from me and as loud as she could be
screaming out someone help me please realizing she was gone
wishing I'd mind my own saying
5 x's Chorus out
Take me anywhere but here
Is there a way to be near?
To feel the real
Essence of life?
Is there a way that is clear
To explore a new dimension of light?
Take me in the world of light
And hold me before I will die
I have walked through my whole life and existence
These stars have aligned for one more moment on this 4th of July
Lime lights guide us to where we are destined tonight
As we walk this path something just feels all right
Not knowing where we're going just following skylines
Under these fireworks and city lights
All before you realized that you caught my eye
I'd imagine that you were mine tonight
Thinking back sparks a bigger flame every time
Coming across the field I catch a glimpse of you
Finally working up my courage if you only knew
I can't believe you said yes all my dreams are coming true
It almost seems like forever since I've been with you
Under these fireworks and city lights
All before you realized that you caught my eye
I'd imagine that you were mine tonight
Thinking back sparks a bigger flame every time
Take Me, Take, Take Me
Lend me your heart
Take Me, Take, Take Me
I won't let you down
You can trust me oh just believe
You're all I've ever wanted since the beginning
Under these fireworks and city lights
All before you realized that you caught my eye
I'd imagine that you were mine tonight
I will never be what you want me to be, I don't agree with the way you want me to be, I will always be me
take me, take me as I am, take me, take me as I am, take me, take me as I am, take me as I am, what do you want from me, what are you doing with me, what is your picture of me, you make me fly into rage
What do you want from me, what do want to do with me, why do you want to change me into an other personality, can't you see that you are killing me, when you try to change me, don't you know that you destroy me, when you try to change me, cause I don't agree with the way you want me to be, I cannot do what you want me to do - what you want me to do
Don't you know that you are killing me, when you are trying to change me? Don't you know that you are destroying me, when you are trying to change me?
Chorus
What you see is me, this is what you get when you want to know me, I cannot be an other personality, I cannot change me, so take me as I am, or I will be the enemy in your system, like a virus in your program, I don't go the way you want me to walk, I don't speak like you want me to talk, I don't leave my line
Chorus
If you can't give your all
Don't want what you've got to spare
If you can't love me completely
Well, I don't need you to care
If you can't give your heart
Then I don't just want a piece of it
If I can't have your love just freely
What use is your pity to me?
Take me for life
Don't just take what you need
Always be mine
A minute is no use to me
If you can't give your kisses
Why should I shake your hand?
If you can't give your soul to me
Well, I don't need another friend
Take me for life
Don't just take what you need
Always be mine
A minute is no use to me
Take me for life
Don't just take what you need
Always be mine
There's a lion above your bed
And he's eating at your soul now
I'm a jewel in a paper bag and it keeps you down
Consolation for what you've lost
A constellation that can't be crossed
There's a shadow on your back
And it's eating out your heart now
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
I heard what you said
You just don't know
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
Chorus:
Oh just take me
Take me
(I've already had it to here)
Wake me
Wake me
(I've already had it to here)
Break me
Break me
(I've already had it to here)
Verse 2:
There's a lion above your head
And he's eating at your soul now
I'm a fool and a silly nag
And it makes you cry
An enigma that's haunting you
Astigmatism you can't see through
There's a shadow on your back
And it's eating out your heart now
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
I heard what you said
You just don't know
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
Chorus:
Oh just take me
Take me
(I've already had it to here)
Wake me
Wake me
(I've already had it to here)
Break me
Break me
(I've already had it to here)
Bridge:
I am not what you wanted
I am now what you fear
You've taken it for granted
You twist the atmosphere
I am not what you wanted
I am not what you fear
You've taken it for granted
You twist the atmosphere
Chorus:
Oh just take me
Take me
(I've already had it to here)
Wake me
Wake me
(I've already had it to here)
Break me
Break me
(I've already had it to here)
Oh just take me
Take me
Wake me
Wake me
Break me
Break me
Take me
Take me
have you once stopped to wonder why all this suffering
what has each man or child done to deserve this thing
maybe the truth is nothing maybe we're all the same
for every crime committed we all must take the blame
there is a new day dawning when our hope fills the skies
legions of love surrender unto our children's eyes
take me because i am ready take me where i belong
take me into forever take me away from wrong
some think the grass is greener that's life for heaven's
sake
truth is we share existence what difference does it make
in memory of martin, who spoke of hope though he was

Gonna show me what a woman's for
She kows what I like, she knows how to please me
When she loves, she loves me slow an' easy
Oh so easy, so slow an' easy, yeah
Time she comes around gonna rock n roll
A lil bump an' grind before the show
Sugars got that candy coated lovin, yeah
Hold on tight, she's a hurricane comin
Take me, in the heat of the nite
Make it hot, you make my temperature rise
Take me, in the heat, the heat of the night
Take me, to the top tonight
Never stop, you take me to the sky
Take me to the top, the top tonight
Solo
High, high heels an' a lil bit o' leather an' lace
An angels smile such a pretty pretty face
When she rocks n rolls, she never sleeps
When she rocks n rolls, she plays for keeps
Take me, in the heat of the nite
Make it hot, you make my temperature rise
Take me, in the heat, the heat of the night
Take me, to the top tonight
Never stop, you take me to the sky
Take me to the top, the top tonight
She's got the candy coated lovin
Hold on tight, she's a hurricane comin
Take me, in the heat of the nite
Make it hot, you make my temperature rise
Take me, in the heat, the heat of the night
Take me, to the top tonight
Never stop, you take me to the sky
Take me to the top, the top tonight
Take me honey, I need your love
you are the answer for my life i need you every day you
are the sunshine in dark nights and nothing i have to
fear you are the father at my side and all i have to say
Take me to a secret place,
And my heart won't ache again.
Stars will shine all in my face,
From my lips I know you reach this phrase.
Take me far from lonely nights,
Somewhere my wish can be new.
I will treasure your embrace,
From my lips to yours we'll reach this phrase.
Take me where the birds don't cry,
And my endless joy will shine.
There your breeze can help me fly,
Hope replace the clouds into blue sky.
Take me to that secret place,
Teach me how our Love should grow.
Warm me with your moonlit gaze,
And my lips will whisper that old phrase.
Take me where the birds don't cry,
And my endless joy will shine.
There your breeze can help me fly,
Hope replace the clouds into blue sky.
Take me there where flowers peek,
My touch will reflect their pride.
Let us cross this gentle dream,
Would you join me singing that old phrase.
Oh won't you take me...along
Oh won't you take me...to that secret place
Oh won't you take me...along
Come on take me along to that secret place.
Oh won't you take...me
Oh won't you take me...along, to that secret place
Oh won't you take...
Oh won't you take me...along, along
Take me,
And take me to your darkest room
Close all the windows
And bolt all the doors
From the first moment, I heard your voice
I'll be in darkness no more
Take me,
To your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment, I saw your smile
It was like heaven to me
There's mountain to rugged to climb
No desert to barren to cross
Darling, if you would just show me a sign
Of love, where I could build your gloss
Take me,
To Siberia
The coldest weather of any wintertime
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine
Take me
Take me
Take me
