I need, baby I need your love right now
And I want, baby I want to show you how
Come on, you know that we've waited long enough
And now it's time
Time to be lovers.

I tried, tried to be only one with you
And it's hard but baby it's worth it all for you
And it hurts, makin' me wait for you this way,
I can't go on.
So come on and...

[Chorus]
Take me now, take my love
Make come true the feelings I've been dreamin' of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me,
Our love will ever last.

I know we haven't known each other long
But still something so right just can't be wrong
Besides, it ought to be up to
Me and you.

When it's time, time for each other.
I live, live for the day we're made as one
Look back, back over all the things we've done
But now, baby I need your love right now,
I can't go on.
So c'mon and...

[Chorus]
Take me now, take my love
Make come true the feelings I've been dreamin' of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me,
Our love will ever last.

Take me now, take my love
Make come true the feelings I've been dreamin' of
Take me now, take me fast
You can trust in me,
Our love will ever last.
