White Stripes, The - Take, Take, Take Lyrics
I was sitting' there,
I had a comfortable chair,
And that was all that I needed.
Then my friend offered me
A drink for us to share
And that was all that I needed.
Well then I felt at ease
But then I'm not too hard to please,
I guess you couldn't call me greedy.
Then I was shocked to look up
And see Rita Hayworth there
In a place so seedy.
She walked into the bar
With her long red curly hair
And that was all that I needed.
I said to my friend
Good God we're lucky men
Just to even see her.
Take, Take, Take.
Take, Take, Take.
Take, Take, Take.
I could not resist, I just had to get close to her,
And that was all that I needed.
I walked and loomed around her table for a while,
And that was all that I needed.
And I said I hate to bug you ma'am,
But can I have your autograph
And that was all that I needed.
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper,
And that was all that I needed.
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth,
And that was all that I needed.
Then she handed it to me,
and I think that she could see,
That that was all that I needed
I started to walk away,
but then I remembered Hey,
I forgot to get a picture.
So I asked her one more time,
Could I have another favor,
That was all that I needed.
She was kind to pose with me,
Then I know my friends would see
My celebrity meeting.
Take, Take, Take.
Take, Take, Take.
Take, Take, Take.
So she said to me
I need to go to sleep
And it seems so mean.
It's almost as if she
Did not appreciate
How cool I was being.
She said Goodnight and walked away
And I didn't know what to say,
I just couldn't believe it!
Well, it's just not fair,
I just want to get a piece of hair,
And that was all that I needed.
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek,
I wouldn't wash it for a week,
That would be all that I needed.
Well, she didn't even care
That I was even there.
What a horrible feeling.
