Take Me In
Van Velzen Lyrics
Go on Go on Go on
and seduce me
I can’t pretend no longer
this feeling’s taking me over now
I’m completely yours
Go on Go on Go on
I surrender
There ain’t no ego left to defend here
I can’t resist to go where your wild heart grows
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you’re ready to begin:
Take me in
Go on Go on Go on,
I’ll reduce myself into
Nothing just to see how far
You can go on and on with temptation baby
You drive me crazy and everything is hazy
I’m completely yours
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you’re ready to begin
Take me in
Make up your mind come on, come on
Don’t waste time
Jump on the train and don’t let it pass you by
You got to let me know
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you’re ready to begin
Take me in
and seduce me
I can’t pretend no longer
this feeling’s taking me over now
I’m completely yours
Go on Go on Go on
I surrender
There ain’t no ego left to defend here
I can’t resist to go where your wild heart grows
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you’re ready to begin:
Take me in
Go on Go on Go on,
I’ll reduce myself into
Nothing just to see how far
You can go on and on with temptation baby
You drive me crazy and everything is hazy
I’m completely yours
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you’re ready to begin
Take me in
Make up your mind come on, come on
Don’t waste time
Jump on the train and don’t let it pass you by
You got to let me know
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to play the game?
Are you ready to start again?
You got to let me know
Are you ready to go?
Oh oh oh
Are you willing to lose control
If you’re ready to begin
Take me in
