I fancied you for a very long time
You finally got around to making your move
But when you picked me up, you looked so very
I wish we could dispense with the preliminaries

Oh, so much for subtlety
I can't wait for you to get your hands on me
Oh, take me
Take me, please
Oh, take me
Take me

Don't leave me at the door with a good night kiss
It's guys like you can give a girl a complex
I've never been so in love before
I'm not playing hard to get, that's for sure

Oh, so much formality
I can't wait for you to put your hands on me
Oh, take me
Take me, please
Oh, take me
Why don't you take me?
Oh, take me
Come on, boy
Oh, take me, take me

Oh, don't let me scare you away
It's not like me to come on strong
But love like this just can't be wrong
So I'm gonna make it easy

Oh, take me
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me

It's the holding back makes me want you more
I'm not playing hard to get
Why don't you take me, boy?
Oh, oh
Take me
Come on, take me
