10cc — 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
