[Verse 1]
Don't you know, know, know
It's a violation
I still hear you saying
Such a perfect, perfect night
No, no, no, fight all temptation
Well, in a black-hearted alley fight
I'm screaming. "Take me to the heights tonight"
[Chorus]
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
[Verse 2]
Too many times
Victim accusation
No, you don't have to take it like that
A sheer, sheer heart attack
No, no, no, no realization
Well, I never had a way with you
But I still hear you saying
[Chorus]
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
Don't you know, know, know
It's a violation
I still hear you saying
Such a perfect, perfect night
No, no, no, fight all temptation
Well, in a black-hearted alley fight
I'm screaming. "Take me to the heights tonight"
[Chorus]
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
[Verse 2]
Too many times
Victim accusation
No, you don't have to take it like that
A sheer, sheer heart attack
No, no, no, no realization
Well, I never had a way with you
But I still hear you saying
[Chorus]
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
(To the top and throw me off)
Take me to the top
