Take me out if you will by The Jarrs Lyrics
Always on the eye out looking for fun
But always left staring right into the sun
And I'm picking it up where I have left off
But really I need some kind of insulation
But it's like persuading someone
To swallow their gum
They infer that they'd prefer to spit it out before the flavour's gone
And I don't know why you'd do that
'cos it's not really done
Everywhere I go I see you taking things for granted
With your new shoes with the three stripes slanted
Cat-walking around being proper sycophantic
Clapping to yourself as if you were Icelandic
And I might as well chant it loud and clear
I deserve much better than this my day
But don't think I'm gonna drown in a pool of tears
I'll just toast to the 15th love lost this year so
Take me out, take me out, take me out if you will
'cos I'm losing the will to live just sitting on my window sill
And if you won't take me out, take me in instead
And I'll repay the favour
And I'll savour the flavour that is shed
(Doobie-doo, doobie-doo, doobie-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doobie-doobie-doobie-doo)
And I'll savour the flavour that is shed
Always been one to try and dodge the pain
But always left walking home alone in the rain
And I don't know why I do it to myself so often
It's like everyone are matches and I am the flame
I just magnetise every single bad vibe
Insecurities, impurities hit my straight in between the eyes
And instantly consistently drown out all the highs
I've been told every different lie there is in the book
But nowadays most people say they don't give things a second look
And well I really don't blame them cos you don't wanna get yourself stuck
So anyway let's go into the middle, and let's have a dance
But please remember I intend to only have a short brief romance
Don't go off on one, don't make me shout
All I wanted was for you to take me out
Take me out, take me out, take me out if you will
'cos I'm losing the will to live just sitting on my window sill
And if you won't take me out, take me in instead
And I'll repay the favour
And I'll savour the flavour that is shed
(Doobie-doo, doobie-doo, doobie-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doobie-doobie-doobie-doo)
And I'll savour the flavour that is shed
Take me out, take me out tonight
Show me the way to the light
Get me in an uptown fight
Is this what feels right?
We might not run away with glory
But at least we'll have a story to tell
And you wouldn't care if you fell
When someone rings the bell
We'll be able to say that we lived life well
Take me out, take me out, take me out if you will
'cos I'm losing the will to live just sitting on my window sill
And if you won't take me out, take me in instead
And I'll repay the favour
And I'll savour the flavour that is shed
But always left staring right into the sun
And I'm picking it up where I have left off
But really I need some kind of insulation
But it's like persuading someone
