Take it from me I'm takin' to you
Just like a daisy takes to the dew
All that I pray for, you are just made for, baby

Take it from me, I'm takin' a vow
Whenever you're near me, you cheer me somehow
You're so alluring, it's fast enduring, baby

There may be others, sisters and brothers
Telling us our love is young
Still I'll continue trying to win you
I know you're just my kind

Take it from me I'm takin' to you
Tell me you're caring, tell me it's true
You're love'll make me, why don't you take me, baby
