Take On Me
A-Ha · How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head [Live]
I don't know what
I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is not my day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me (take on me)
take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Yeah, is it a life or
Just a play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (take on me)
take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
