You lied, I cried
Now you’ve returned from a fresh good-bye
You used to hold me close, and whisper my name
Now we’re use again, but it’s not the same
If you wanna get on the right track
You gotta come over here and take me back

Take me back to that summer night
You kissed me in the candlelight
Take me back to your old truck
Where I first learned to love
You want my heart, but it ain’t free
You gotta come over here and take me
Just take me

Take me back to the place,back to the time
Before you relit that old flame, and left me behind
You say you can’t settle for just friends
Then take a stand, let’s make amends
If you want for “us” to last
You gotta come over here and take me back

Take me back to those fields of gold
Where we’d run between the cornrows
Back to the barn, stacked with hay
Where we’d sit and talk all day
You want my heart, but it ain’t free
You gotta come over here and take me
Yeah baby, take me

You say you’re waitin’ for me to make a move
But I don’t know what to do
I’ve put it on the line, I’m ready to pack
Unless you get over here and take me back

Take me back to stayin’ up late
Jumpin’ in and temptin’ fate
Back to our midnight drives
When we’d watch the world pass by

Back to “Stay five more minutes”
Back to “I can’t live a life without you in it”
Don’t beg or plead, Baby, understand
I don't need no boy, so show me you're a man
You want my heart but it ain’t free
You gotta take me

Just take me
