Take Her - Common Kings

There's a Saturday night, Saturday lights And I'm watchin' her, watchin' him watchin' ice Just meltin' his drink, and I can't help but think If she was with me, she'd be all I could see Oh, but he's just lookin' 'round the room I'm over here watchin' a fool Who don't know that he's wastin' his chance Hey mister, could I cut in for a dance? You don't know what you've got If forever's just not in your plans Let me take her off your hands And oh, a girl wants to be swept off her feet She didn't put that dress on to be a Nobody man, short on romance Too blind to give her even a second glance Oh, but he's still lookin' 'round the room I'm over here watchin' a fool Who don't know that he's wastin' his chance Hey mister, could I cut in for a dance? You don't know what you've got If forever's just not in your plans Let me take her off your hands The band is playin' a perfect song And I don't wanna wait too long I'm over here watchin' a fool Who don't know that he's wastin' his chance Hey mister, could I cut in for a dance? You don't know what you've got If forever's just not in your plans Let me take her off your hands Let me take her off your hands

Here I am again I feel time is draggin on Aren't you getting tired of me Whinging overdrawn Faceless, blind Want to take her out again She's not just mine Want to take her out again In a bodiless embrace Thriving I have grown Fickle changing grip replaced Choking take it all Faceless, blind Want to take her out again She's not just mine Want to take her out again Dedicated, true to form Still the only one Only guarantee Continue after I am done Faceless, blind Want to take her out again She's not just mine Want to take her out again

Downtown looks like it's New Year's Eve Find some bar you can halfway breathe Touch tune some old deep cut Cheap Trick Got your girl singin' every word of it So you bring a couple shots of chilled Patrón To the prettiest thing that you ever hit on And somehow she ain't got a boyfriend So you make her laugh all night and then Take her home, fall in love Thank the good Lord up above That He sent one down into your arms And put a chain around your raise-hell heart You try to play it cool walking through the door But you're smiling like a fool 'cause you can't wait For them down-the-road memories you're bound to make And you will, one day, take her home Gassed-up truck sittin' in the driveway In the back there's a black and a pink suitcase She can't stop saying she's freaking out You say, "Baby, you ain't got nothin' to worry about" Then you hold her hand, kiss her one time And throw it in drive And take her home, then fall in love Thank the good Lord up above That He sent one down into your arms And put a chain around your raise-hell heart You try to play it cool walking through the door But you're smiling like a fool 'cause you can't wait for Them down-the-road memories you're bound to make And you will, one day, take her home (home, home) Take her home (home, home) Sometimes God draws life like a dream Paints you a seven-pound-five-ounce scene In a car seat creeping down the interstate Two young lovers that are scared to death But still can't wait To take her home, fall in love Thank the good Lord up above That He sent one down into your arms And put a chain around your raise-hell heart You try to play it cool walking through the door But you're smiling like a fool 'cause you can't wait for Them down-the-road memories you're bound to make And you will, one day, take her home Take her home, take her home, take her home (home, home) Take her home Take her home, take her home, take her home (home, home)

All you have said is still in my ears You must have thought you're infallible Oh no oh no You're not gonna say that much anymore Welcome to my peculiar dream Fact is that I'm here I'm the master of reality Hard to see? But it's real and you will read me So many ways to go Before we're sanctified Few will be chosen ones Until we fade and die Kings will be kings Pawns will be pawns Aeons of tears Wild and severe Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come Will be, might never disappear I know that pride's before the fall How can I fall if there's none left at all Tell me tell me How far can one fall from down below? It's either time or ev'ryone round To show us what or who might be exchangable Disposable In the game of life we're playing Close to eternity I spread my wings and fly Like from a distant age I rule and you obey Kings will be kings Pawns will be pawns Aeons of tears Wild and severe Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come Will be, might never disappear Close to eternity I spread my wings and fly Kings will be kings Pawns will be pawns Aeons of tears Wild and severe Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come Will be, might never disappear Kings will be kings Kings will be kings Kings will be kings
