Take On Me
Janez Detd. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talking away
I don't know what to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Needless to say (get up, get up, get up)
I'm odds and ends
But that's me, stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

(when, will I, will I be famous)

Things that you say
Is it love or just to play
My worries away
You're ll the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two





(take on me) x5
