Take Me For A Little While
Dave Edmunds · Repeat When Necessary [1979]
I've been trying to make you love me
But everything I try just takes you further from me
You don't love me, and so you treat me cruel
But no matter you hurt me, I'll always be a fool
If you don't want me forever
If you don't need me forever
If you don't love me forever
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me
I've got to stop it, there should be a law
Cause everytime you put me down, I want you more
Oh, I feel so helpless, and it ain't funny
Cause deep inside I know you're never gonna love me
If you don't want me forever
If you don't need me forever
If you don't love me forever
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me
(Take me for a little while) So I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me
(Take me for a little while) You know I got to have you
(Take me for a little while) You know I'll do anything for you
(Take me for a little while, take me for a little while)
Take anything you want (Take me for a little while)
Take anything you need (Take me for a little while)
You know I want you dear (Take me for a little while)
Do anything for you (Take me for a little while)
But everything I try just takes you further from me
You don't love me, and so you treat me cruel
But no matter you hurt me, I'll always be a fool
If you don't want me forever
If you don't need me forever
If you don't love me forever
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me
I've got to stop it, there should be a law
Cause everytime you put me down, I want you more
Oh, I feel so helpless, and it ain't funny
Cause deep inside I know you're never gonna love me
If you don't want me forever
If you don't need me forever
If you don't love me forever
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me
(Take me for a little while) So I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me
(Take me for a little while) You know I got to have you
(Take me for a little while) You know I'll do anything for you
(Take me for a little while, take me for a little while)
Take anything you want (Take me for a little while)
Take anything you need (Take me for a little while)
You know I want you dear (Take me for a little while)
Do anything for you (Take me for a little while)
