Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you made me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
[PreChorus]
Our love is you and me, baby
That, ah, that makes the world go 'round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
[Chorus]
Ah, here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, yeah
Oh, show me
Here I am, baby
[Verse 2]
It always ends up this way, yeah
Me begging you every day
For love that I cannot have
You broke my heart into half
[PreChorus]
Our love is you and me, baby
That, ah, that makes the world go round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
[Chorus]
Ah-ha, here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, yeah
Ah, squeeze it
Here I am, baby
[Bridge]
When I'm down
I can always call you
For a helpin' hand
I know you'll do the best you can
But it don't take much from me
For my cup of joe, ha-ha-ha-ha
Oh, there's love inside me
[Bridge]
I believe there's going to be an explosion, yeah, yoo-hoo
It's tough for me, oh, baby
I can do worry, yeah, yeah
Tell me all your troubles, yeah
And you won't ever have to worry, no
[Bridge]
One more thing you can do, just ask, ask everybody
Everybody you see, no, no, no
You'll find yourself
Lost and alone on a darkened street, ah, oh
[Chorus]
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Won't you come and take me?
Take me by the hand
[Outro]
Ah, show me
Yeah, teach me
Yeah, show me, won't you
Here I am, baby
Yeah, take me, won't you
[Outro]
Teach me
Baby, won't you take me by the hand
Teach me
Here I am, baby
