I'LL TAKE YOU HOME
(Written by Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil)
The Drifters - 1963


Everybody knows you came with him but another girl caught his eye-ee-
eye (I'll take you home)
Now you're sitting there all alone watching them dance by (I'll take 
you home)
And I know you're wondering what you'll do if he doesn't come back 
to you
But, don't worry, I'll take you home so, little girl, don't you be 
blue

Now I know that you wore that pretty red dress just for him to see 
(I'll take you home)
Mm-mm-yeah
But I wanna tell ya that red dress looks good to me (I'll take you 
home)
Whoa, I know you feel like you wanna die but try pretending that I'm 
your guy
And don't worry, I'll take you home so, little girl, now don't you 
cry

I'll take you home when the dance is over
I'll take you home, just wait and see
You're gonna dance the last dance with me

Let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand (I'll take you home)
Mm-mm-mm
'cause I had a date just like you when the dance began (I'll take 
you home)
But the girl I came with just wasn't true, she's the girl who took 
him from you
So you see now, I'll take you home 'cause little girl, I'm lonely, 
too

Ohhhhhhh, let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand (I'll take you home)
Mm-mm-mm
'cause I had a date just like you when the dance began (I'll take 
you home)
But the girl I came with just wasn't true, she's the girl who took 
him from you
So you see now, I'll take you home 'cause, little girl, I'm lonely, 
too

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll take you home 'cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too
Mm-mm, mm-mm, yeah
FADE
I'll take you home 'cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too
