Can You Take It

I was courting a southern belle

Her Daddy was a rich 'un, too

Sports car outside her door

She was pretty good lookin', 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:

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 tryin' 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:

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

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

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
