[Verse 1]
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's you and me, baby, hey
That makes the world go 'round
And I'm keeping you lovin' me, baby
Layin' all my troubles down
[Chorus]
Here I am, baby
Come on and take me
Here I am, baby
Come on and take me
Take me by the hand
Ah, show me
Here I am, baby
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart into half
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's you and me, baby, oh yeah
I said that makes my world go 'round
And I'm just keeping you lovin' me, baby
Oh, layin' all my troubles down
[Chorus]
Oh, I, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Come on and take me
Take me by the hand, girl
Oh, show me
Here I am, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Bridge]
And when I'm down
I can always call on you, call you
For a helping hand
I know you'll do the best that you can
But it don't take that much from me, no no
For my cup of Joe, oh yeah
All this love inside of me
I believe there's going to be an explosion
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Oh, here I am, baby
(Come and take me)
Come and take me
(Here I am, baby)
Oh girl
(Won't you come and take me)
Come on and take me
(Take me by the hand)
By the hand
(Ah, show me)
Show me, girl
(Here I am, baby)
Baby, oh yeah
[Outro]
Here I am, baby
(Come and take me)
Come and take me
(Here I am, baby)
Show me, girl
(Won't you come and take me)
Whatcha gonna do?
(Take me by the hand)
Why don't you take me?
(Ah, show me)
By the hand
(Here I am, baby)
Show me
Show it to me, girl
(Here I am, baby)
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's you and me, baby, hey
That makes the world go 'round
And I'm keeping you lovin' me, baby
Layin' all my troubles down

Here I am, baby
Come on and take me
Here I am, baby
Come on and take me
Take me by the hand
Ah, show me
Here I am, baby
