Randy Newman - Take Me Back Lyrics
Everyone tells meI was dealt a losing handThe way that I lookAnd the way that I actIts not hard to understandSure I got troublesMaybe you gotem tooId like to explain what has happened to meSo it doesnt happen to youI was born in los angelesMany, many, many years agoWe lived out in north hollywood thenIn a steamy little bungalowMy mother, my fatherMy baby brother and mePlayin cowboys all dayOut there in the valleyWhat a perfect familyHey, heyGet em up, get em upCome a ti yiHeyWent off to high schoolWhen I was thirteenI was kind of advancedIf you know what I meanGot into some troubleDrinkin heavy with my friends in the hillsMy daddy had to come down to the station to get meHe said, where is my angry young man?Take me backBaby, please take me backI dont wanna live here by this dirty old airportIn this greasy little shackTake me backBaby, please take me backJust give me a chance and well start all over againNow that young girlWas just a summertime thingShe went back to schoolWhen the school bell ringNow I do my laundry by myselfEvery night I eat aloneBaby please, please, pleaseWont you let me come back homeGoin off to collegePassed every testThey said, lets send this boy to palo altoHe could be one of the bestFour years at stanfordWorked very hardA lot of good it did me, little tramp,Yourre ruining my lifeTake me backBaby, please take me backI dont wanna live here by this dirty old airportIn this greasy little shackTake me backBaby, please take me backJust give me a chanceAnd well start all over againJust give me a chanceAnd well start all over
