Lyrics
Take Me Back © 2012 Ken Kahn
We separated, went our own ways,
And I go back to my old friends.
You take the house and I get the car.
We'll start again.
I had forgot how empty it gets
Drinking here, I'm all alone and
Staring down at one shot and one beer by the phone
Take me back tonight, give me love.
Ooh-eee, Don't close that door.
Take me back tonight, show me love.
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Night after night they all turn me down.
No, I can't find somebody new.
Men and women both have their needs-
You know that's true.
I dial your number, just to find out
If you're alone, my buttercup, 'cause
If you are, I'd like to come over.
Don't hang up.
If you don't want me, I'll let it be.
I can find something to do.
Ten bucks of quarters, jukebox will play the whole night through.
But all I'm asking - just this one night.
I won't cry or tell you I'll change.
Yes, I do remember that just last night
I said the same.
