Take This Woman

[Verse 1]

I found myself on my knees in prayer

The consequence of my deep despair

Now I must speak, get it off my chest

It ain't no joke and it ain't no jest

[Verse 2]

Every night she would come to me

But her demands brought disharmony

I said, "You can't bring your drums to bed

Your rhythm method's gonna leave me dead"

[Chorus]

Got to take this woman (Take this woman)

'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)

Why don't you take this woman?

Take this woman lock her away

[Verse 3]

It would be churlish for me to complain

But caviar every night is insane

I'm fit to burst, I'm not in the mood

But she say, "Lie down babe, I wanna talk to you"

[Verse 4]

Well I'm not fond of your family ties

The hangman's noose in your mother's eyes

You chatterbox like a talking head

Je ne comprends pas the words that you said

[Chorus]

Take this woman (Take this woman)

'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)

Why don't you take this woman?

Take this woman lock her away

[Bridge]

Don't want to love you

I really tried

But I'm hook line and sinkered deeply fried

I've got to admit that with all your faults

We touch and it feels like a million volts

[Verse 5]

Listen—I realised I'd made a big mistake

I'm only human for heaven's sake

Lord give me strength, don't let me falter

I'm gonna take her to the altar

[Chorus]

I'll take this woman (Take this woman)

'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)

I'm gonna take this woman

Take this woman lock her away

I'm gonna take this woman (Take this woman)

'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)

I'm gonna take this woman

Take this woman lock her away

I'll take this woman (Take this woman)

'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)

I'm gonna take this woman

Take this woman lock her away

Whoa, yeah
