Take Me for a Little While

[Verse 1]
I've been trying to make you love me
But everything I try
Just takes you further from me

You don't love me
So you treat me cruel
But no matter how you hurt me
I'll always be your fool

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever

[Chorus]
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you, baby
Take me for a little while
So I can make you want me

[Verse 2]
I've just gotta stop it
There should be a love opus
(Baby, I need you)
'Cause every time you put me down
I love you more

I feel so helpless
(Baby, I need you)
And it ain't funny, honey, no, no
(You know I need you)
'Cause deep down inside I know
You're never gonna love me

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever

[Chorus]
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you, baby
Take me for a little while
So I can make you want me

(Take me for a little while)
So I can hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while)
So I can make you want me
(Take me for a little while)
I'm so helpless without you, honey, yeah
(Take me for a little while)
Oh, I need you, baby
(Take me for a little while)
Ooh, I can't live without you, honey
(Take me for a little while)
Oh, I'm crying for you, baby
(Take me for a little while)
