Randy Newman - Take Me Back lyrics

Your rating:

I was dealt a losing hand
 The way that I look
 And the way that I act
 It's not hard to understand
 Sure  I got troubles
 Maybe you got 'em too
 I'd like to explain what has happened to me
 So it doesn't happen to you

 I was born in Los Angeles
 Many  many  many years ago
 We lived out in North Hollywood then
 In a steamy little bungalow
 My mother  my father
 My baby brother and me
 Playin' cowboys all day
 Out there in the valley
 What a perfect family

 Hey, hey
 Get 'em up, get 'em up
 Come a ti yi
 Hey

 Went off to high school
 When I was 13
 I was kind of advanced
 If you know what I mean
 Got into some trouble
 Drinkin' heavy with my friends in the hills
 My daddy had to come down the station to get me
 He said, "Where is my angry young man?"

 Take me back
 Baby, please take me back
 I don't wanna live here by this dirty old airport
 In this greasy little shack
 Take me back
 Baby, please take me back
 Just give me a chance and we'll start all over again

 Now that young girl
 Was just a summertime thing
 She went back to school
 When the school bell ring
 Now I do my laundry by myself
 Every night I eat alone
 Baby please, please, please
 Won't you let me come back home?

 Goin' off to college
 Passed every test
 They said, "Let's send this boy to Palo Alto.
 He could be one of the best."
 Four years at Stanford
 Worked very hard
 A lot of good it did me, you little tramp
 You're ruining my life

 Take me back
 Please, please take me back
 I don't wanna live here by this dirty old airport
 In this greasy little shack
 Take me back
 Baby, please take me back
 Just give me a chance
 And we'll start all over again
 Just give me a chance
 And we'll start all over
