The lyrics of Cherish's song "Taken" are about a woman who meets a man that she finds attractive, but she knows he is in a relationship. She wants to teach him a few things, and has heard rumors that he wants her too. She's not interested in knowing the details, she just wants to have fun with him. The singer proceeds to take control of the situation and takes the man home to show him the finer things in life. They both know that he's already taken, but that's not stopping her from pursuing him. She woos him with her charm and wit, making him forget everything else.
As the night progresses, their attraction to each other reaches an all-time high. The temperature is rising, and the man is starting to tell his friends about her. Despite the fact that he knows the singer could never be his lady, he begs her to be with him. Towards the end of the song, the singer tries to convince him that time is of the essence and they should seize the moment.
