And I'd like to take you take you away
And if you'd come with me we'd leave here today
There's nothing to hold you as strong as this feeling
And I've got to have you as soon as I can

And I know you're worried about where you stand
The ring that he gave you is still on your hand
You want to be faithful you want to believe
He's easy to lie to but hard to deceive
And you say it's over between you and him
He tells you he needs you but chances are slim
That he even wants you as much as I do
So why don't you go on and tell him you're through
Cause I'd like to take you

And I'd like to take you
And I've got to have you as soon as I can as soon as I can
