Can You Take It Lyrics

    I was courting a southern belle
    Her daddy was a rich ´un, too
    Sports car outside her door
    She was pretty good lookin´, too

    You call me up, want me to come over
    When the servants are all in bed
    And she said,"daddy´s on a flight tonight
    Does that put any ideas in your head?"

    I say to her:

    Chorus:
    Take it all the way
    Can you really take it all the way down
    Can you really take it all the way down
    Down down
    Down down down

    So we watch a little tv
    I drink up the family wine
    She said,"you´re such a snake in the grass, boy
    But tonight you´re mine"

    But wait a minute, wait a minute baby
    Are you tryin´ to make a fool out of me
    She said,"i´ve seen men like you, before
    I´ve got a long family tree"

    And she said to me:

    Chorus:
    Take it all the way
    Can you really take it all the way down
    Can you really take it all the way down
    Down down
    Down down down

    And i say to myself, "even a fool like me can be the loving kind"
    Even a fool like me can be the loving kind

    Chorus:
    Take it all the way
    Can you really take it all the way down
    Can you really take it all the way down
    Down down
    Down down down
