Song Lyrics

If you are a big big tree
We are a small axe (sharp and ready)
Ready to cut you down (ready)
Sharpened to cut you down

I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
I know it's you and me baby
That makes this world go round
And keeping you in love with me babe
Laying all my troubles down

Here I am baby, come and take me
Here I am baby, come on and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am baby, ooh

It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves

I know it's you and me baby
That makes this world go round
And keeping you in love with me babe
Laying all my troubles down


Here I am baby, come and take me
Here I am baby, won't ya come on and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh squeeze me
Here I am baby, ooh

Oh, here I am baby, come and take me
Here I am baby, won't ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Show me what you can

Here I am baby, ooh won't ya take me
Take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
Ooh show me
Show me what you can
Here I am baby
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
Take me while you can
Here I am baby
