The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

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 `round 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 `round 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 (listen to me)
Nobody but you, you, you
Nobody but you, child
Oh, listen to me
Got nobody but you now
