Lyrics
TAKEN
Bauman/Thomas
Copyright 2000 Pleasant View Music (ASCAP)/I Love Lori Music (ASCAP)
I came in here tonight, sweaty hot and tired
all I wanted was a cold one
But girl you look so nice, I swear you could melt ice
in a freezer...you're a bold one
You're hard to resist, but girl I must insist...
CHORUS
I'm flattered that you, you want to take me home
And I'm tempted to, get you all to myself alone
I'm sorry for heaven's sake, 'bout the love that we won't make
I'm flattered, I'm tempted, but I'm taken
You got the kind of style that drives the young boys wild
A killer body...you're drop dead gorgeous
Now I made up my mind, I'm not the cheatin' kind
Girl I've been branded, so hold your horses
'Cause I think you should know, where this ain't gonna go...
I'm flattered that you, you want to take me home
And I'm tempted to, get you all to myself alone
Well I'm sorry for heaven's sake, 'bout the love that we won't make
I'm flattered, I'm tempted, but I'm taken
BRIDGE
Show me a man who's cheated on good love
And I'll show you a man who's love ain't good enough, well...
CHORUS
TAG: I'm flattered, I'm tempted, but I'm taken...oh yeah
I'm flattered, I'm tempted, but I'm taken (E riff for 4 bars)
