About I Wonder If I Take You Home

"I Wonder If I Take You Home" is a song recorded by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam with Full Force in 1984. Record Producer Kenny Beck discovered the song in a "discard bin" at Personal Records while looking for songs to include on his debut album with the label. He was so impressed that he created a compilation break-dancing album, CBS/SuzyQ, just to include the song. He released the album in Europe on CBS Records, and it immediately gained popularity as a dance hit with club DJs there. Soon American DJs began playing the song in the United States on Columbia Records. After the song received heavy play from these DJs, "I Wonder If I Take You Home" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week in June 1985. On other US charts, it peaked at No. 6 on the R&B chart and reached No. 34 on the Hot 100. The single was certified as gold in the U. S. by the RIAA. Overseas, it charted at No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart.

Take me home
Take me home

Baby, I know you're wondering
Why I won't go over to your place
'Cause I'm not too sure about how you feel
So I'd rather go at my own pace

And I know and you know that if we get together
Emotions will go to work
And I may do something I might regret the next day
And end the hurt

Oh, I don't know
The way that I feel
I'm so afraid of a one night deal

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight
Home

Your love is
(Take me home)

Lately, you've been expressing to me
Just how much you want to make love
I want it just as much as you do
But will you still keep in touch?

You say I'm teasin' but I do have a reason
Don't let your feelings fade
'Cause you will have me and sooner than you know it
If you could only wait

Oh, I don't know
The way that I feel
I'm so afraid of a one night deal

And sometimes
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight
Home

And on the real side
If you love me
You would wait

No, no, no, no, no, no, oh

I wonder if I take you home
(Home, home, home, home)
I wonder if I take you home

Your love is
(Home)

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight
Home

(I wonder, I wonder, I really, really wonder)
Home, home, home, home
(Take me home)

(I wonder, I wonder, I really, really wonder)
(Take me home)
Your love is
No good

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
You're not sure you're the holder of my eyes
I gave our relationship more credit than it deserves
No, it's just that I feel you're rushing me

Okay, okay, since you don't love me and don't wanna be with me
No, it's not that, it's just that I'm afraid of getting hurt, I don't know
I just keep asking myself, should I really take you home?
What do you think?

Take me, take me
Take me home
Take me, take me
Take me home
Take me, take me
Take me home

(Home, home, home, home)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, oh
(Home)

You're down on your knees
Begging me please, home
(Take me home)
Take you home

Will you still love me
If I take you home?
Will you still love me
If I take you home?
