[Verse 1]
Do like the wind does the rainclouds
Carry me places afar
Or just sallow me down
In your hometown
I've got to be where you are
[Chorus]
Don't you ever leave me (Don't you go away)
Oh, unless you want to grieve me (Forever and a day)
Take me where you go
Take me where you go
(Baby, baby, baby)
[Verse 2]
Ooh, we're like a stamp and a letter (Stamp and a letter)
A dress to a lovelight for two (Ooh)
Now if the stamp didn't take it
The letter couldn't make it
So, I'm gonna stick with you
[Chorus]
Don't you ever leave me (Don't you go away)
Unless you want to grieve me, yeah (Forever and a day)
Take me where you go, oh
Take me where you go
(Baby, baby, baby)
[Bridge]
I hope you understand my position
I'm so in love with you
I'll adapt myself to any condition
That you want me to
Go to the desert where it is hot
Or to the North Pole, where it's not
And I'll be so glad
Oh how happy you could make me
Just take me, take me, take me, take me
[Chorus]
Ooh (Take me baby, take me baby)
Take me where you go (Take me baby, take me baby)
[Verse 3]
You could be a prince or a pauper (Prince or a pauper)
A shoemaker working with leather (Ooh)
We could live in a cottage
A hut, so what
Long as we're together
[Chorus]
Don't you ever leave me (Don't you go away)
Unless you want to grieve me, oh (Forever and a day)
Take me where you go, ooh
Take me where you go
[Outro]
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Take me where you go
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Ooh, don't you ever leave me
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Unless you want to grieve me
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Take me where you go
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Do like the wind does the rainclouds
Carry me places afar
Or just sallow me down
In your hometown
I've got to be where you are
[Chorus]
Don't you ever leave me (Don't you go away)
Oh, unless you want to grieve me (Forever and a day)
Take me where you go
Take me where you go
(Baby, baby, baby)
[Verse 2]
Ooh, we're like a stamp and a letter (Stamp and a letter)
A dress to a lovelight for two (Ooh)
Now if the stamp didn't take it
The letter couldn't make it
So, I'm gonna stick with you
[Chorus]
Don't you ever leave me (Don't you go away)
Unless you want to grieve me, yeah (Forever and a day)
Take me where you go, oh
Take me where you go
(Baby, baby, baby)
[Bridge]
I hope you understand my position
I'm so in love with you
I'll adapt myself to any condition
That you want me to
Go to the desert where it is hot
Or to the North Pole, where it's not
And I'll be so glad
Oh how happy you could make me
Just take me, take me, take me, take me

Take me where you go
[Outro]
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Take me where you go
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Ooh, don't you ever leave me
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Unless you want to grieve me
(Take me baby, take me baby)
Take me where you go
(Take me baby, take me baby)
