Taken lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Should I try to take you in?

Another fool brought to the fold

With not a gaze or arms

but deathlike grip to hold

To hold

To hold

To hold

Should I try to take you in?

And hope for the perfect docile pet

Hope that you'll not defile or wreck my home

Sweet home

Sweet home

Sweet home

Here there's only faith no doubt

You can be taken anywhere

Here is where you choose the place

With pleasure and pain in equal share

A refuge for truth and deceit

Where all who come are taken in

Should I try to take you in?

Pretending what you have not felt

In passion sorrow sleep or death eyes closed

Eyes closed

Eyes closed

Eyes closed

Here there's only faith no doubt

You can be taken anywhere

Here is where you choose the place

With pleasure and pain in equal share

A refuge for truth and deceit

Where all who come are taken in

Should I try to take you in

Who'll pity me if I forget?

It's said to be and not to be in love

Is to regret

Regret

Regret

Regret

Here there's only faith no doubt

You can be taken anywhere

Here is where you choose the place

With pleasure and pain in equal share

A refuge for truth and deceit

Where all who come are taken in

Should I try to take you in

Who'll pity me in my regret?

For those who've never been in love

Need not forget

Forget

Forget
