[Chorus]
Take me in the morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me
Take, take, take

[Verse 1]
Before you slide into the wide
There’s something I want you to know
What you see is what you want
In all your stretch of consciousness
You've still got a long way to go
What you want is what you need
Some make you spin, some make you sweat
Its only here for you to choose (choose me)
And if you try, an alternative high
Then tell me what have you got to lose now

[Chorus]
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Up all night
Up all night

[Verse 2]
The hit, the hit, the hit to fit reality
It’s just a state of mind
What you see is what you want
And you'll admit its more than
Just an axe that you've got to grind
What you want is what you need
We'll make a spin, we'll make you sweat
All you've got to do is use me
Some like it hot but I like it wet
So tell me what have we got to lose now

[Chorus]
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Up all night
Up all night

[Bridge]
A drug, it's a drug
A drug, it’s a drug
A drug, it’s a drug
A drug, it's a drug
A drug, it’s a drug
A drug, it's a drug
A drug, it's a drug
A drug, it's a drug

(Use me, use me)
(Choose me, choose me)
(Use me, use me)

[Chorus]
Take me every morning, take me
Take me every morning, take me
Take me every morning

Take me every night
Take me when you’re feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right
Take me every morning

Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right
Take me every morning

Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
