Take Me
PAYNE Candie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you can't give your all
Don't want what you've got to spare
If you can't love me completely
Well, I don't need you to care

If you can't give your heart
Then I don't just want a piece of it
If I can't have your love just freely
What use is your pity to me?

Take me for life
Don't just take what you need
Always be mine
A minute is no use to me

If you can't give your kisses
Why should I shake your hand?




If you can't give your soul to me
Well, I don't need another friend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Payne Candie's song "Take Me" convey a message of unapologetic demand for whole-hearted love and commitment in a relationship or romantic encounter. The singer identifies that they do not want someone who is not fully invested in loving them completely. If someone cannot give all of their love, heart, or soul, then there is no need for them to show any kind of pity or make any false promises. The singer urges honesty and transparency in love, and they want their partner to be fully committed for life instead of just giving what they think is enough.


The lines "Take me for life, Don't just take what you need" emphasize the idea that long-term commitment is all that matters in love. The singer wants a partner that will always be there for them, not just for a fleeting moment or to satisfy their needs temporarily. The lyrics reflect the singer's inner strength and self-worth, as they are unwilling to settle for less than they deserve. The lines "Always be mine, A minute is no use to me" emphasize this point - mere seconds of affection are not enough to satisfy the singer's desire for a deep and meaningful bond.


Overall, Payne Candie's "Take Me" is a passionate plea for true love and dedication. The singer's emotive delivery and the intense lyrics create a sense of urgency to find an all-encompassing love, rather than settling for less. The song speaks to anyone who has gone through unfulfilling relationships or knows the worth of true intimacy and connection.
