Drifters, The - I'll Take You Home Lyrics






Everybody knows you came with him
But another girl caught his eye
(I'll take you home)
Now you're sitting there all alone watching them dance by
(I'll take you home)

And I know you're wondering
What you'll do if he doesn't come back to you
But don't worry, I'll take you home
So, little girl, don't you be blue

Now I know that you wore
That pretty red dress just for him to see
(I'll take you home)
But I wanna tell ya, that red dress looks good to me
(I'll take you home)

Whoa, I know you feel like you wanna die
But try pretending that I'm your guy
And don't worry, I'll take you home
So, little girl, now don't you cry

I'll take you home when the last dance is over
I'll take you home, just wait and see
You're gonna dance the last dance with me
Let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand
(I'll take you home)
'Cause I had a date just like you when the dance began
(I'll take you home)

But the girl I came with just wasn't true
She's the girl who took him from you
So you see now, I'll take you home
'Cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too
Oh, let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand
(I'll take you home)
'Cause I had a date just like you when the dance began
(I'll take you home)

But the girl I came with just wasn't true
She's the girl who took him from you
So you see now, I'll take you home
'Cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too

Whoa, I'll take you home
'Cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too
Whoa, I'll take you home
'Cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too

    Drifters had more than 100 members over time. More an 'institution' than a band, but the core members, esp Clyde Mc Phatter, Ben. E .King, Rudy Lewis, Johhny Moore et.al. made such beautiful music it will never die.

  33. j.... h....

    timeless great music

  34. C.... 1....

    real music. ..

  35. A.... B....

    Love this song; my drifter's childhood favorite before I ever felt the pain of heartache. But I got the message at age 7.

  36. P.... B....

    Not their biggest hit, but one of my faves. Not a group out there today that is better than Drifters and Moore.

    P.... B....

    Pat Boschen agreed, I also adore "Up on the Roof"

    P.... B....

    Must agree pat this is really a great little song ..

  37. b.... ....

    I never tire of listening to the Drifters

  38. L.... ....

    The Corsairs.."I'll Take You Home"......is excellent.....Organ Music has a Magic Effect.

  39. P.... E....

    Johnny at his best. Still sadly missed.

    P.... E....

    Paul Efreme I agree

  40. R.... A....

    I adore this musica...!

  41. J.... M....

    Just brilliant

  42. O.... ....

    Some kind of wonderful! The Drifters had so many personnel changes over the years, that they had several great lead singers. Johnny Moore led beautifully on some 25 including this, Ruby Baby, Under the Boardwalk, Sand in My Shoes, & Saturday Night at the Movies. The other day I sang the last 2 to my lovely nieces (ages 18 & 20), so now I'll send them the link to this one. Few of today's hits can compare with the melodies, lyrics, vocals and instrumental arrangements of the golden age of rock, R&B, and soul. I've waited in vain for 49 years for another Otis Redding, for example. But I do like Bruno Mars. So there's hope.

  43. J.... W....

    A MAGIC TRIBUTE TO THE DOO WOP SINGERS  OF THE 50S LOVE IT REAL R N R SOUL MUSIC DOO WOP STYLE

  44. W.... B....

    My fave, and Cliff Bennett did a decent version also. Thoughts of the " Wall City Jazz Club in Chester. !! Sorry kid, go and change your jeans and we may let you in !! LOL.

  45. M.... B....

    Mann-Weil composition trying to recall "Save the Last Dance". Fine vocal job by Johnny Moore who took over from Rudy Lewis and became to groups leadsinger for the next two years, peaking with "Sand in My Shoes".

    M.... B....

    Johnny Moore actually did this song while Rudy Lewis was still a member of the Drifters. They brought him back in the group because they suspected Rudy was planning a solo career. He was a great singer nonetheless and didn't get his due recognition.

    M.... B....

    None of them did, except Ben E. King

    M.... B....

    Clyde McPhatter

  46. i.... l....

    My daddy always loved the drifters , RIP Daddy <3

  47. P.... E....

    Superb vocals from Johnny.

  48. R.... P....

    great song which I always heard when my mother played the Drifters record

  49. e.... ....

    Not one of the Drifter's bigger hits but still great I remember it from when I was 15 back home in the Bronx 1964

  50. L.... P....

    Lovely memories.

  51. G.... t....

    A classic!

    G.... t....

    The Drifters were A classic all the words I relate to all the songs

  52. r.... ....
