TAKE ME NOW

(David Gates (m & l) 1981)

As sung by David Gates 1981 < Take Me Now >

I need, baby, I need your love right now
And I want, baby, I wanna show you how
C'mon, you know that we've waited long enough
And now its time, time to be lovers.

I tried, tried to be all you want me to
Its hard but baby, its worth it all for you
It hurts, makin' me wait for you this way
I cant go on so c'mon and...

Take me now, take my love
Make come true, the feelings, I've been dreamin' of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me, our love will ever last.

I know we haven't known each other long
But still something so right just can't be wrong
Besides, it ought to be up to me and you
When it's time, time for each other.

I live, live for the day we live as one
Look back, back over all the things we've done
But now, baby, I need your love right now
I can't go on, so c'mon and ...

Take me now, take my love
Make come true, the feelings, I've been dreamin' of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me, our love will ever last.

Take me now, take my love
Make come true, the feelings, I've been dreamin' of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me, our love will ever last
Take me now, take my love...

Notes:

< Take Me Now > was released as an 'A' side 45 rpm 
single. The 'B' side was   < It's What You Say >


David Gates, an American pop singer, composer and arranger, 
was the lead vocalist for the well known pop group, Bread. 
Springing from a strong musical background, he became very 
adept at piano and guitar at an early age.

He can be immediately identified by his distinctive piano 
style of chording. Arguably    < Never Let Her Go > 1975 and 
the   < Goodbye Girl >
 1978, as well as this song  < Take Me Now >
are amongst his better, perhaps even best known lyrics/songs.
