Take Me Over
CANNATA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe tonight a secret rendez-vous
For once in your life, you sense the danger
Just open your heart, love will follow through
Never let promises, steal away from you

When will you realize it's a foolish game we play
Love is your own device The thrill of anticipation...

When you give your love to me
A burning paradise you'll see
Oh babe, oh babe, just take me over
Oh babe, oh babe, over and over

Too many times, I don't know what to do
I'm under your spell, my destination
If you just make up your mind, tell me your love is true...
Don't talk about loneliness talk about me and you

When will you realize it's a foolish game we play
Love is your own device The thrill of anticipation...

When you give your love to me
A burning paradise you'll see
Oh babe, oh babe, just take me over
Oh babe, oh babe, over and over

Only a theif in the night would ever take love to borrow
Maybe wrong, maybe right still I can't live without you
The thrill of anticipation...

When you give your love to me
A burning paradise you'll see
Oh babe, oh babe, just take me over
Oh babe, oh babe, over and over
Just take me over

Over and over
Over and over...
