Take Me On [Richie Sambora]


(R. Sambora/D. Child/M. Hudson/G. Burr)

You've been out all night
That's right
Underneath your black umbrella
Petals around the lights, so bright
Like neon angels in the sky
But they don't fly
You walk by this empty street
I'm hoping that our eyes might meet
Your heart's to blind to see me
That's the price of being lonely

If you want real love
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on
(take me on)
Take me on
(take me on)
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong
Take me on

In a small cafe
All day
Starin' in a cup of coffee
Time just slips away
Smoking your last cigarette
With no regret
I say hello, we look away
but there's a smile behind your face
There's something more between us
But your heart's too scared to say

If you want real love
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on
(take me on)
Take me on
(take me on)
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong
Take me on

There's a place in every window
The light goes out
And someone's alone...so alone
When we wake up in the mornin
It's another day, another chance gone
Gone...

If you want real love
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on

Take me on

If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong
Take me on

If you want real love
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on
(take me on)
Take me on
(take me on)
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the tenderness you're missin'
If you think that you're not strong
Take me on

If you want real love
Take me on
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on
(take me on)
Take me on
(take me on)
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong
Take me on
