Hollies – I Take What I Want lyrics
(Porter / Hodges / Hayes)
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
Cause 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
Cause 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

Cause 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
Cause 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
