Take This Woman

[Verse 1]
I found myself on my knees in prayer
The consequence of my deep despair
Now I must speak, get it off my chest
It ain't no joke and it ain't no jest

[Verse 2]
Every night she would come to me
But her demands brought disharmony
I said, "You can't bring your drums to bed
Your rhythm method's gonna leave me dead"

[Chorus]
Got to take this woman (Take this woman)
'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)
Why don't you take this woman?
Take this woman lock her away

[Verse 3]
It would be churlish for me to complain
But caviar every night is insane
I'm fit to burst, I'm not in the mood
But she say, "Lie down babe, I wanna talk to you"

[Verse 4]
Well I'm not fond of your family ties
The hangman's noose in your mother's eyes
You chatterbox like a talking head
Je ne comprends pas the words that you said

[Chorus]
Take this woman (Take this woman)
'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)
Why don't you take this woman?
Take this woman lock her away

[Bridge]
Don't want to love you
I really tried
But I'm hook line and sinkered deeply fried
I've got to admit that with all your faults
We touch and it feels like a million volts

[Verse 5]
Listen—I realised I'd made a big mistake
I'm only human for heaven's sake
Lord give me strength, don't let me falter
I'm gonna take her to the altar

[Chorus]
I'll take this woman (Take this woman)
'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)
I'm gonna take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
I'm gonna take this woman (Take this woman)
'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)
I'm gonna take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
I'll take this woman (Take this woman)
'Cause she's a whole lotta woman (Take this woman)
I'm gonna take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
Whoa, yeah
