"Take On Me"
a-ha (with ed. punctuation)
1985 (and 2009)

We're talking away.
I don't know what I'm to say.
I'll say it anyway.
Today's another day to find you shying away.
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be gone,
In a day or two.

So needless to say,
I'm odds and ends.
But that's me--stumbling away,
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me:
It's no better to be safe than sorry.

Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be gone,
In a day or two.

Oh the things that you say:
"Is it life or just a play-my-worries-away?"

You're all the things I've got to remember.
You're shying away.
I'll be coming for you anyway.

Take on me.
Take me on
I'll be gone,
In a day or two.
