[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, oh, baby
I needs a lover who knows me
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]
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, babe
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, with you, baby, baby, baby, babe
Whoa, with you, babe
With you, baby, baby, baby, now
[Verse 2]
I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind, oh no, no
I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just wasn't someone to belong to
Every day of my life always
So come and take me away
[Chorus]
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, whoa, take me up
Take me up, take me up
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey
[Interlude]
Dreamlover, dreamlover, dreamlover
Dreamlover, dreamlover, dreamlover
Dreamlover, dreamlover
[Bridge]
Won't you come and take me away?
Whoa, ooh
Somebody come and take me away-ay
Take me, take me, take me
Come and take me, take me away, away
Come and take me, take me, baby, come and take me
Baby, won't you take me away
Need your love, need you, babe
Need you now, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
Why don't you take me, take me, baby take me?
Baby, won't you take me away, away?
Come on and take me, take me
Won't you come and take me
Baby, won't you take me away-ay, ooh?
Won't you come on out?
Won't you come on now?
Won't you come on, baby?
