Take Yo' Praise
Camille Yarbrough Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've come a long, long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you, baby
I have to praise you like I should

You're so rare
So fine
I'm so glad you're mine
You're so rare
So fine
I'm so glad you're mine

You make me glad I'm a woman
'Cause you're a feeling, thinking man
And anytime I know you're needing
I'm gonna please you every way I can

You're so rare
You're so fine
I'm so glad you're mine
You're so rare
And so fine

You clear the questions from my mind
I was afraid to say I love you
Afraid to take, and too eager to give
You helped me deal with what I'm feeling
With why and how I want to live

You're so rare
Man, you're so fine
You know, I'm so glad you're mine
You're so very rare
And so fine
I'm sure glad you're mine

I have to praise you when you hold me
When you work your way around
Ain't a part of me left over
That your sweet love ain't found
You make my, my moan turn to whisper
You make my whisper turn to call
You make me scream
And scream that I love you
When you, when you make me rise and fall

You're so rare
And you're so fine
And I'm so very, very, very glad you're mine
You're so rare
And so fine

Oh, oh you're mine, you're mine
You know, you know I want the best for you, baby
And what you want, I want for you
And we can, we can work together, baby
To see it, to see it all come true

'Cause you're so rare
And you're, you're so fine
And Lord knows, I'm so very glad you're mine
You're so rare, so rare
And you're so very, very fine
Oh, you cleared all the questions from my mind

We come a, we come a long, long way together, baby
Through the hard times and all the good
I'm gonna take this day to celebrate you, baby
'Cause I have to stop and praise you like I should

You're so rare, take yo' praise
And you're so fine
And I hope you know I'm glad you're mine




Take yo' praise, you're so rare
Take yo' praise, you're so fine

I can't believe I just discovered this song today! 😮

@roseability86

Same!

@retode20ksinningunvideo34

In my case was today hahaha, years vibing to this song and didn't even know it

@CourtTV.

Same. I might ofnheard a snippet of it but I've forgotten to toutube it.

@chitsb

Doesn’t matter if Fatboy Slim or Rita Ora got you here. You’re here and that’s all that matters :)

@albaroqueso

Why rita ora?

@thegman8

Luckily for Fatboy Slim, Camille Yarbrough decided to sing the first verse of this great song in a capella

@davematey

How does that affect the ownership of the song or royalties (if that’s what yr saying)?

@gian2323

@@davematey nope, the point is Fatboy Slim didn't have a hard time to arrange a new background music and overlap to the the original singing since there was simply none.

For what I've heard there wasn't actually any copyright issues since the original song was credited, and actually benefited form its remodeling.

@iMadrid11

It just made it easier to sample. Sound engineers can isolate the vocal track even without access to original track master recordings.
