Lyrics
I like that you're my friend now, you're why I this song that I sing now
I couldn't have thought it up without you
You take me or you leave me, that's what I like and who would ever think
You might need me
So can I tell you, can I tell you, can I tell you, can I tell you
I'm taken by you, by you
I'm taken by you, by you
I like that you're so careful, I like the way the words roll off your tongue
And did you know that each one makes me wonder
You're hesitant but daring, all at once you're funny but you're caring too
I'm taken by you
So can I tell you, can I tell you, can I tell you, can I tell you
I'm taken by you, by you
I'm taken by you, by you
I'm taken by you, by you
I'm taken by you, by you
Where are we from and where are we going
When I'm with you, something new in me is showing
How do you do it, You're really something else
How do you do it, You're really something, something, something else...
I'm taken by you, by you
I'm taken by you, by you
