Lyrics

[Intro]
Do do, do, do, do, do, do (Yeah)
Ooh, baby (Baby)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Ooh, baby (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 1]
I need a lover to give me
The kind of love that'll last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away babe, oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I want a lover who knows me, yeah
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away?
[Chorus]
Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
[Chorus]
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
[Bridge]
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Ooh, baby (With you, baby)
[Verse 3]
I don't want another pretender, no
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no baby
[Verse 4]
I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday of my life
Always, so come and take me away
[Chorus]
Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up, take me down (Oh, baby)
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
[Chorus]
I need you so desperately (I need you so desperately)
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
[Bridge]
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
[Bridge]
Baby, come and take me away, yeah
[Chorus]
Dream lover come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
[Chorus]
I need you so desperately (I need you, baby)
Won't you please come around? (Won't you please?)
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
[Chorus]
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
I need you so, I need you so (Dream lover come rescue me)
Take me up, take me down (Take me up)
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Come on, baby (Won't you please come around?)
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
