The Hollies
I Take What I Want
(Isaac Hayes/Mabon Lewis 'Teenie' Hodges/David Porter)
Track 1 on album 'Would You Believe' June 1966

{guitar intro}

Oh, I take what I want
oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah.
Yes, I am.
I'm never a loser,
and I'm never a quitter, yeah.
Oh, no
'Cos I take what I want,
yeah, baby, I want you.
Nobody but you, child.

I've been a-watching you walk by.
But I never said a word
Not one word
But now I'm there to get you
and I'm gonna make you my girl.
My loving girl now
'Cos I take what I want
Yeah, baby, I want you.
Nobody but you, child.

Gonna pick you up now
carry you away, yes, I am.
So you better pack up now, baby
Pack it up today
Here I come
Just a big, bad man.
When you see me walk away, baby
You'll be holding my hand.

'Cos I take what I want,
oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah
yes, I am
And now I'm there to get you,
and I'm gonna make you my girl.
My loving girl now.
'Cos I take what I want.
Yeah, baby, I want you.
Nobody but you child
Nobody but you, you, you
{fadeout}
Nobody but you
Nobody but you...
