Lyrics & Music By Pete Dowan (SOCAN)
TAKE IT FROM ME
1st VERSE:
Pretty girl who used to be smiling.
Sees the world through a tear-ridden sea
Much too early to be an island
CHORUS:
TAKE IT FROM ME,
THAT IS NO WAY TO BE.... AH
YOU NEED LOVE, YOU NEED LOVE.
2nd VERSE:
Make believe if you think you need to.
Take your leave from a presence of mind.
You'll deceive but someone will see through.
CHORUS:
TAKE IT FROM ME,(Take it from me)
THAT IS NO WAY TO BE.... (Take it from me, take it from me ) AH
YOU NEED LOVE, YOU NEED LOVE.
BRIDGE:
All your makeup couldn't hide how you feel.
You're so lovely but you're lost in the field where you play.
A one-sided love has never been known to pay. Ah
VERSE:
Pretty girl who used to be smiling.
Sees the world through a tear-ridden sea
Much too early to be an island
CHORUS:
TAKE IT FROM ME,(Take it from me)
THAT IS NO WAY TO BE.... (Take it from me, take it from me ) AH
YOU NEED LOVE, YOU NEED LOVE.
************
CHORUS:
TAKE IT FROM ME,(Take it from me)
THAT IS NO WAY TO BE.... (Take it from me, take it from me ) AH
YOU NEED LOVE, YOU NEED LOVE.
BRIDGE:
All your makeup couldn't hide how you feel.
You're so lovely but you're lost in the field where you play.
A one-sided love has never been known to pay. M-m
VERSE:
Make believe if you think you need to.
Take your leave from a presence of mind.
You'll deceive but someone will see through.
CHORUS:
TAKE IT FROM ME,(Take it from me)
THAT IS NO WAY TO BE.... (Take it from me, take it from me ) AH
YOU NEED LOVE, YOU NEED LOVE.
(ENDING) (TAKE IT FROM ME THAT IS NO WAY TO BE....)
(YOU NEED LOVE).. [fade]
