"Your Love Takes Me Out" lyrics
Love (your love)
Takes me (takes me)
Out
I'm here to try to tell my story
I know I'm shakin' but I got to state my case
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no shrink – No!
I don't need no woman that can drive me off to drink
But your love takes me straight the hell on out of here
I don't know what's in your love but it hypnotizes me - yeah
You can keep that voodoo to yourself – to yourself
Cause one hit was enough for me I had too much myself - ho
Your love takes me out
I don't know just where I've been but it takes me off the count
Your love takes me out – It takes me out
It's get the best of me and it makes me want to shout. Want to shout
Yeah, yeah
Your love excites me now, it takes me out
Your love excites me now, it takes me out
Yes I need my baby, no I don't mean maybe
Yes I need my baby, now
Say you'll be my baby
Cause those other guys are lazy
I know they'll drive you crazy and how
Yes I need my baby, no I don't mean maybe
Yes I need my baby, now
Say you'll be my baby
I know it might seem crazy
But I think that's what you make me now
Love (your love)
Takes me (takes me)
Out
(Oooh)
Hey
Ah ah hey
Yeah yeah
My friends are trying to see just what is wrong with me
Since I never acted quite this way before
When you move your hips
I start to lick my lips
And before I knew I've embarrassed myself more – ho
Maybe if I hurry I can shake your love cold turkey
Cause I never thought I need nobody else – yeah yeah
I'll go head and be just what you want me to be
As long as you promise to keep it hot – whew
Your love takes me out
I don't know just where I've been but it takes me off the count baby
Your love takes me out – It takes me out
It gets the best of me and it makes me want to shout. Want to shout
Your love excites me now, it takes me out
Your love excites me now, it takes me out
Yes I need my baby, no I don't mean maybe
Yes I need my baby, now
Say you'll be my baby
Cause those other guys are lazy
I know they'll drive you crazy and how
Yes I need my baby, no I don't mean maybe
Yes I need my baby, now
Say you'll be my baby
I know it might seem crazy
But I think that's what you make me now
Love (your love)
Takes me (takes me)
Out
Your love (love)
