Take Me For A Little While
(Trade Martin)
Album: Repeat When Necessary
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 every time 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.
(This is a classic Phil Spector /
«Wall of Sound» piece, a real departure
from the usual Dave Edmunds rockabilly.)
