Femke Weidema sings this one, a co-write with Deborah Wilbrink. Contact either for publishing/recording rights and info. We wrote this about and for a singer we knew; although she cried when she heard it, she never recorded it. Love to hear this one recorded.
Lyrics
TAKE ME FOR A RIDE
c. Weidema & Wilbrink 2013
I’ve dated leather jackets and cell phone junkies
Too much beer on Fridays and joystick jockeys
But I’m a match that’s never been lit
Rockers, nerds and poets, and the guy who fixed my car
We had some fun, but I don’t know who they are
I’m waiting for the one who fits
So turn the boys into a man; turn this girl into a woman
Turn a spark into fire, turn liking into loving
Can you take me for a ride in a way I’ve never known
Down a road that leads to dreams where you’ll never let me go
I want to grow up with you, do the things I’d never do
When you take me for a ride, take me for a ride
- Baby, take me for a ride
Skinny-dip Niagara Falls, tear down the wall
Bike through every state, hear the werewolves call,
I’ll be the one who keeps you up at night
So turn the boys into a man, turn this girl into a woman
Turn a spark into fire, turn liking into loving
Can you take me for a ride in a way I’ve never known
Down the road that leads to dreams, where you’ll never let me go
I want to grow up with you, do the things I’d never do
When you take me for a ride, take me for a ride
- Baby, take me for a ride
Fairytales don’t have to last forever . . .
Can you take me for a ride in a way I’ve never known
Down the road that leads to dreams, where you’ll never let me go
I want to grow up with you, do the things I’d never do
Can you take me for a ride, take me for a ride
Baby, take me for a ride
Take me for a ride!
