I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
The burnin' deep down inside
The love that I cannot hide
I know it's you I need, baby
and it makes this world go round
I'm keepin' you in love with me, baby
Laying all my troubles down.
Here I am, baby. Come and take me.
Here I am, baby. Come on and take me.
Take me by the hand.
Ooh, show me. Here I am baby
It always ends up this way
Me beggin' you every day
A love that I cannot ask
You broke my heart in two halves
I know it's you I need, baby
and it makes this world go round
I'm keepin' you in love with me, baby
Laying all my troubles down.
Here I am, baby. Come and take me.
Here I am, baby. Won't you come and take me?
Take me by the hand.
Ooh, squeeze me. Here I am, baby
Oh, here I am, baby. Come and take me
Here I am, baby. Won't you come and take me?
Take me by the hand.
Ooh show me, show me what you can
Here I am, baby. Oh, won't you take me,
take me by the hand. Take me by the hand.
Ooh show me, show me what you can
Here I am baby. Won't you take me?
Take me by the hand. Take me while you can.
Here I am, baby.
