Take Me
Conley Arthur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they don't really know
All the bills, the burdens
And problems I bear
But only you alone
You're the one that's
Lyrics courtesy Top40db.
Strength to go on and on
And for you, I sing this song
My pockets ain't filled with money
The old car I drive runs funny
And I don't have much to offer
A sweet fine girl like you
But here's my heart, please take it
You see, I need your love
If I'm gonna make it
Come on, take me
Oh, darling, take me
Take me, take me as I am
Just as I am
Now listen to this
Wilson Pickett found himself
Someone to love, Joe Tex did too
And Otis Redding said
I've tried and I've tried
He found someone to love
But I believe there's different
Strokes for different folks
And if you give your woman
What she wants when she wants it
How she wants it, where she wants it
And every time you think she wants it
You won't ever have to
Worry about anything
And that's why, darling, to you
I can stretch out my arms
Baby, I'm yours and yours alone
(Take me) take me, take me
(Take me) right now, right now
Just as I am, you got it, baby
I'm all yours, come on
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah)
Everybody, clap your hands one time
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) feel alright
Oh. my, my, my, my, my
Makes you wanna moan a little bit

Someone to love, Joe Tex did too
Like Joe Tex, he also found someone to love

Similarly, Otis Redding mentioned
I've tried and I've tried
Even though I gave my best attempts
He found someone to love
Yet Otis managed to find someone to love
But I believe there's different
I have my own thoughts about this matter
Strokes for different folks
Everyone has different attractive qualities, and depending on it their choices differ
And if you give your woman
If you provide your companion
What she wants when she wants it
Whatever she wants whenever she wants
How she wants it, where she wants it
However she wants (to be loved) and where she wants
And every time you think she wants it
And even if it seems complicated to you, please try continuously to understand her emotions
You won't ever have to
There will be no occasions where
Worry about anything
You'll have anything to worry or feel concerned about
And that's why, darling, to you
That's why, sweetheart, for you
I can stretch out my arms
I can open my arms wide
Baby, I'm yours and yours alone
Darling, I belong to you and only you
(Take me) take me, take me
Take me with you, take me and never leave
(Take me) right now, right now
Take me at this moment or instantly
Just as I am, you got it, baby
Take me in my true form and identity
I'm all yours, come on
I am wholly yours, let's do this together
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah)
Please respond to me with joy and happiness
Everybody, clap your hands one time
Please let me hear you put those beautiful hands together once
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) feel alright
Yes, that's it, it's perfect, feeling excellent
Oh. my, my, my, my, my
Oh, my God, what I was feeling is indescribable
Makes you wanna moan a little bit
It's so good that it inspires me to let out an exclamation of pleasure
