[Verse 1]
Body's weak, heart is pounding
What I've been looking for, baby, I've found it
X marks the spot so I'll keep digging
Cause I know it's just a matter of time
It's getting hot, your body's burning
As the world keeps turning and turning
You're the lamb, I'm the lion
Cause I know that you were made to be mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel chills coming down
And I feel 'em start down in my toes
I'll give you all that I've got
'Til it feels like I'm about to explode, explode

[Chorus]
Cause I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more

[Verse 2]
Hair's a mess, body's glistening
To your heartbeat, baby, I'm listening
We are one with the rhythm
Of the passion that we're feeling inside
This moment reminds of a time when this world was so beautiful, wild and free
As we play in the moonlight under the starlight
Stay here forever with me

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel chills coming down
And I feel 'em start down in my toes
I'll give you all that I've got
'Til it feels like I'm about to explode

[Chorus]
Cause I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
Cause I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more

[Bridge]
Feel you close next to me
Take you to ecstasy
Find that place deep inside your soul

[Chorus]
I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it
No, I can't take it no more
