Can You Take It
(专辑: American Fool - 1982)
I
was courting a
Southern belle. Her daddy was a
rich 'un, too. Sports car outside her door, She was pretty good looking, too. You call me up, want me to come over When the
servants are all in bed. And she said, "Daddy's on a
flight tonight. Does that put any ideas in your head?" I
say to her: [Chorus:] Take it all the
way. Can you really take it all the
way down? Can you really take it all the
way down, down, down? Down, down, down. So we watch a
little TV, I
drink up the
family wine. She said, "You're such a
snake in the
grass, boy. But tonight, you're mine." But wait a
minute, wait a
minute, baby. Are you trying to make a
fool out of me? She said, "I've seen men like you before. I've got a
long family tree." And she said to me: [Chorus] Take it all the
way. Can you really take it all the
way down? Can you really take it all the
way down, down, down? And I
say to myself: Even a
fool like me can be the
loving kind. Even a
fool like me can be the
loving kind.
