Take It From Me (bonus Beats) Songtext
von Commodores

She′s your girl, ain't that right?
But you′re gone in the middle of the night
And that girl, she hangs on
It ain't cool the way you string her along
I hear talk, it's on the street
It′s a dead end with the ladies you meet
It′s a shame the way you start (it's a shame)
Leavin′ footprints on an innocent heart

You're gonna need somebody you can lean on (need somebody)
You′re gonna need somebody to love
It's a cold day when you hear her say
I′m finally free
And it's a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me, you oughta take it from me

It's so good what you got (so good)
Why can′t you see that she′s takin' a lot
You don′t call, why don't you care? (Why don′t you care?)
That she's a fool for ya, and you′re keepin' her there (oh, yeah)


You're gonna need somebody to rely on (need somebody)
You′re gonna need somebody to love
It′s a cold day when you hear her say
I'm finally free
And it′s a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me (oh, take it from me)
When it's too late
And the hands of faith, they are turning the key (oh, turning, turning, turning)
You will love again and you′ll remember when
Take it from me, take it from me

No question, I'm your best friend
Wake up or you′re never gonna live it down
She needs you, wants to please you
You think that she's always gonna be around

It's a cold day when you hear her say
I′m finally free
Oh, it′s a cruel world when you lose that girl (that's a cruel world)
Take it from me
When it′s too late
And the hands of faith they are turning the key (oh, turning, turning, turning)
Did you know you will love again, and you'll remember when?
Take it from me, you better take it from me

She′s your girl, ain't that right?
But you′re gone in the middle of the night

It's so good what you've got
Why can′t you see that she′s taking a lot?
