John Mellencamp - Can You Take It Lyrics

Lyrics Can You Take It - John Mellencamp



I was courtin′ a Southern belle
Her daddy was a rich 'un, too
Sports car outside her door
She was pretty good looking, too
Call me up, want me to come over
When the servants are all in bed
And she said, uh
Daddy 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
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 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
And I say to myself
Even a fool like me can be the lovin′ kind
Even a fool like me can be the lovin', lovin′ 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
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
