Lyrics

I can't take it
Yes, too much time's been wasted
So come and get my plateful
I am fighting fit and able
I need you
I'm waiting and I'm alone
I wanted to be so bold
But good words are never easy
I am still young
My blood flowing like a flood
Come and take every single bone
I will give as good as I get
I can't take it
Yes, too much time's been wasted
So come and get my plateful
I am fighting fit and able
No I can't take it
When you slide and twist it hurts me
So settle down and let me
Oh, I've tasted life and I'm ready
Oh I need you
Your shoulders act as my strength
Your skin is my only friend
I seek cover in all your glories
I am tarnished
I know I have many flaws
But our love it will shatter all
Take me on and we will conquer
I can't take it
Yes, too much time's been wasted
So come and get my plateful
I am fighting fit and able
No I can't take it
When you slide and twist it hurts me
So just settle down and let me
Oh, I've tasted life and I'm ready
I can't take it
Yes, too much time's been wasted
So come and get my plateful
I am fighting fit and able
No I can't take it
When you slide and twist it hurts me
So just settle down and let me
Oh, I've tasted life and I'm ready
No no I can't take it
When you slide and twist it hurts me
So just settle down and let me
Oh, I've tasted life and I'm ready
