Can You Take It (Album Version)

Can You Take It (Album Version) - John Mellencamp

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 daddys on a flight tonight

Does that put any ideas in your head

I say to her:

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:

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

Even a fool like me can be the loving kind

Even a fool like me can be the loving kind

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

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
