Madonna - Take Me (I Want You) (1981 Final Gotham Demo) (lyrics)

Madonna - Take Me (I Want You) (1981 Final Gotham Demo) Originally this song was titled "Take Me (I Want You)" and was one of four on the Gotham demo tape that was sent to record labels in hopes of securing a deal for Madonna in late 1981. Before the final tapes were sent, it was decided to trim the title to the more direct and simple "I Want You". Shortly after this was recorded, Madonna (unhappy with the direction manager Camille Barbone was taking her career) severed ties with Gotham and began shopping her own demo of dance music to labels, which eventually resulted in a singles deal with Sire Records. Subsequently, a legal battle would ensue over the ownership of these master tapes with Madonna, Camille and Media Sound, the studio where they were recorded, all staking a claim on the songs. These complications have kept them unreleased nearly half a century on. Luckily for us though, these recordings and many others from Madonna's early years have leaked to the internet via file sharing services. TAKE ME (I WANT YOU) Written by Madonna [Intro] One, two, one, two, three [Verse 1] It feels so nice to say your name You've captured me; you're not the same And when you're standing near it makes no sense I lose all my self confidence And I know about your reputation, baby, I don't care You're such a sweet sensation [Chorus] Won't you take me for your lover? I don't want to have another Won't you take me for your lover? I don't want to have another I want you I want you I want you I want you [Verse 2] You don't know what you've done to me I'm growing weaker at the knees I know I took my chance when I tossеd the dice I didn't think it would be this nicе I never fall in love; I'm much to clever But you stole my heart And I'm yours to keep forever [Chorus] Won't you take me for your lover? I don't want to have another Won't you take me for your lover? I don't want to have another I want you I want you I want you I want you [Bridge] Someone like you just won't do, no I don't want them anyway I want you I want you I want you I want you [Chorus] Won't you take me for your lover? I don't want to have another Won't you take me for your lover? I don't want to have another Someone like you just won't do, no I don't want them anyway I want you I want you I want you I want you
