Take Me
Teedra Moses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back to the day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go
Make me feel like you did
The very first time we ever touched
I want to go, let's just go
Winter's here
I just wanna lay with you in the late nights getting warm
We find less and less time to get together
But that there's whatever
See tonight is for you and I, yeah
We gotta take it back tonight
(I want to go)
(I want to go)
Make me feel like you did
The very first time we ever touched (so, won't you take me)
I want to go, let's just go (ooh)
The place of used to be
Is still apart of me
And I'm so fortunate, lady
That you still need a piece of me
And I know that you're waiting
See, I'm only downtown
You know I roll alone, girl
I'm never with a crowd
Take me
Back to the day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go
Make me feel like you did
The very first time we ever touched
I want to go let just go
And I know I can get crazy
Say things I do not mean
But in all of my frustrations
I'm just tryna make you see
I'm still here for you (my hearts here for you)
My love won't let it die (I won't let it die)
I know it's been awhile, baby, but
I need you to take me there tonight
Baby, won't you take me tonight
You know I roll alone, girl
I'm never with a crowd
(Cause my heart) really needs you
Take me, baby
Take me (whoa-whoa-whoa)
Back to the day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go (made me fall in love)
Make me feel like you did
The very first time we ever touched
I want to go, let's just go (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh)
And I know I can get crazy
Say things I do not mean
But in all of my frustrations
I'm just tryna make you see
I'm still here for you
My love won't let it die
I know it's been awhile, baby, but
I need you to take me there tonight
Take me
Back to the day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go
Make me feel like you did
The very first time we ever touched
I want to go, let's just go
Take me
Back to the day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go
Make me feel like you did
The very first time we ever touched
Teedra Moses's song "Take Me" is about wanting to relive the past and rekindle the passion of a former romance. The first verse acknowledges that winter is a tough season and all she wants is to be with her lover. She reminisces about the times they spent together and longs for the affection they shared in the past. The chorus is a plea for her lover to take her back to the day when they first fell in love and made her feel like she was the only one that mattered.
The second verse is insightful in that it acknowledges that relationships go through rough patches, but love perseveres through them. She admits that she can get emotional and say things she doesn't mean, but she only wants her partner to understand that she's still there for them, and she won't stop loving them no matter how long it's been since they were last together. The chorus repeats itself, emphasizing her fervent desire to feel her partner's love again, as she implores her lover to take her back to the happy times they shared.

Take me
Take me back to the time when we fell in love
Back to that day when you made me fall
Take me back to the moment when you won my heart
I want to go, I want to go
I want to relive that moment again and again
Make me feel
Make me feel the same way I felt when we first touched
Like you did the very first time we ever touched
Remind me of the magic of our first touch
Winter's here
The cold season is here
And I ain't about it
I don't like it
I just want to lay with you
I just want to be close to you
In the late nights getting warm
In the late nights spending time together and getting warm
We find, less and less time to get together
We don't spend as much time together as we used to
But that there's whatever
But that doesn't matter
See, tonight is for you and I...
Tonight is our special night
Yeah, we gotta take it back tonight
We need to relive our love story tonight
The place love used to be
The place where our love used to exist
Is still a part of me
I still hold the memories of our love
And I'm so fortunate lady
I'm grateful to have you in my life
That you still need a piece of me
I'm happy you still want me in your life
And I know that you're waiting
I know you're waiting for me
See I'm only downtown
I'm only in the city center
You know I roll alone girl
You know I'm always by myself
I'm never with a crowd
I don't hang out with a lot of people
And I know I can get crazy
I know I can act irrational sometimes
Say things I do not mean
Say things that I don't actually intend
But in all of my frustration
But despite all my frustrations
I'm just tryin' make you see
I'm just trying to make you understand
I'm still here for you (I'm still here for you)
I'm still here for you and I always will be
My love won't let it die (I won't let it die)
My love for you will never fade away
I know it's been a while baby but
I know it's been a long time since we had a special moment like this
I need you to take me there tonight
I need you to recreate that magical night for us tonight
