Steve Wariner - I'm Already Taken Lyrics






My little third grade hand wrote
"I love you" on a note of yellow paper, and sent it to
the front of the room to a
little blonde-haired girl.

The blonde-haired girl just opened it,
and read it to herself
I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said:

I'm already taken
you spoke up to late
I love somebody else,
so you'll just have to wait

The years flew by so quickly
and there we were in junior high
I realized that I still loved her so.
So I called her up and told her -
exactly how I felt

Then she said:
There's something that you really ought to know:

I'm already taken
you spoke up to late
I love somebody else,
so you'll just have to wait

So wait I did, and never changed my love
for that little blonde-haired girl- who's now the mother
of our little blonde-haired boy - who's to our hearts so close
I hate to think how fast he's growing up.

Last night I overheard them
as she tucked him into bed
He said: mommy, will you marry me?

And this is what she said:

I'm already taken
you spoke up to late
I love your daddy, son,
so you'll just have to wait.

I'm already taken
you spoke up to late
I love your daddy, son,
so you'll just have to wait...

    I had a clock radio that used to come and wake me up in the morning to go to work and sometimes this song would be playing and I'm like this is such cool song but I could never catch the name of the artists or the song. But eventually I did. It's in my music library now.

  5. R.... B....

    I love steve wariner songs

  6. C.... H....

    I remember hearing this song on my drive up to visit my great grandma in Redding CA. this was in 96, I didn't know it was an old song. she's long passed and it's been 21 years since I've heard this song. I found it by chance and I had a good cry

  7. k.... ....

    Mty son always use to say when he was little.."Momma we gonna get married on Frisday" He's 23 now and YES im crying :)

  8. T.... B....

    Truly amazing song. Was always Conway Twitty. Music since 1970s Steve sing this song so beautiful. Still remember back 1987 was only twenty three years old. First saw him in concert. Always enjoy classic hits songs. Two thumbs up.

    damn oh my this song reminds me of my great grandma so much. I was not a country fan as a kid but the station change would cut out to country after the hills to Redding Ca. I've been looking for this song for over 18 years.

  23. A.... H....

    awesome song

  24. L.... B....

    This is a good song, I like this song

  25. B.... K....

    THINGS CHANGED FROM 1978 TO 1999, WE NEED TO HEAR MORE SONGS LIKE THIS, NOT RAP SH@#

    B.... K....

    People's minds are getting poisoned.

  26. J.... t....

    What an awesome song this is

  27. K.... J....

    it was not 1978...sorry

    K.... J....

    Keith Johnson it was 78 or 79. I believe he recorded and released it as a single. He re recorded it in the 90's and it became a hit. The 70's weren't ready for this song.

  28. J.... W....

    awesome country.

  29. i.... ....

    Thinkyouknowmusic on Facebook brought me here.

  30. A.... A....

    my mom she this like a song

  31. R.... E....

    It doesn't matter who recorded it first, it's a great song, well sung by Steve!

    R.... E....

    Steve recorded it.... in 1978. Then he recorded it in 1999.

  32. S.... T....

    beautiful song...

  33. C.... ....

    This is an old Conway Twitty song (much better, and ORIGINAL!)... it's on Myspace from the Mr. T LP album.  I should know, my dad has this record and it was my favorite song off the album.  The original is so much better, imho.

    C.... ....

    @ClickToPreview Actually Steve was the first to record this in 1978 as a single-only release (then of course, he re-recorded it in 1999 when it became a hit). Conway's "Mr. T" album came out in 1981. Conway does do pretty good with it!

    C.... ....

    @wilburscott

    C.... ....

    yes i knew that

  34. J.... H....

    This was not recorded by Steve Warner in 1978

    J.... H....

    Yes, it was.  He just re-recorded it in 1999.  

    J.... H....

    Yeah it was, Aug 17 1977. It was released in 1978. I remember playing this as a country dj on the radio in New York State. This version is way better than the 1999

    J.... H....

    i have the pin back button

    J.... H....

    Jazzmaster and Organ is a lot warmer on the the original. Digital recordings made stuff a bit more sterile.

  35. L.... D....

    Love this.  I love Steve Wariner!!!!

  36. M.... M....

    great song

  37. T.... R....

    And sent it to the front of the row to a little blonde-haired girl
    The blonde-haired girl just opened it and read it to herself
    I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said

    I'm already taken
    You spoke up too late
    I love somebody else
    So you'll just have to wait

  63. F.... ....

    @StevieB1362 IT IS TRUELY AMAZING THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO TYPE WITH YOUR HEAR CRAMMED SO FAR INTO YOUR RECTUM. GOOD LUCK ON THE REMOVAL AS I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SUCH WITTY COMENTS AFTER BEING DEPRIVED OF OXYGEN.

  64. S.... ....

    The sign of a great artist is not being able to pick one single favorite song they've done, because there are so many good ones. Steve Wariner is one such performer. When this one was released, my mom had just passed away. It helped us & the kids deal with it a little better, thinking she was watching over us, although we knew once you're in Heaven, there's no looking back.

  65. S.... ....

    @FINGERSLICER Thanks for making a stupid comment. Every song needs at least one idiot to write something to prove the ignorant people with bad judgment, controlled by their id are still being added to the gene pool.

  66. F.... ....

    IT WOULD BE BEST IF STEVE WERE TO BE SODOMIZED FOR THE VIDEO...

  67. h.... m....

    i love this song (=

  68. m.... ....

    2 people need thier heads examined.

    m.... ....

  74. D.... ....

    I'm only sixteen and I can proufly say that this is one of my FAVORITE country songs, and Steve Wariner is one of my all time favorite country singers - right up there with Martina McBride ad Reba.

  75. S.... L....

    this is his first version/release of this song. It was NOT from 86..in fact he didn't release until the 90s.

  76. y.... ....

  77. r.... b....

    leroy love dominika

  78. b.... l....

    I first heard this song almost 10 years ago and to this day it helps me deal with the death of my Uncle

  79. R.... M....

    @ebonyfiredragon Steve and his brother wrote this back in 1978 at the age of 18

  80. e.... ....

    Its amazing he picked this song up from Conway Twitty.

  81. a.... c....

    @liz8976 very sweet!

  82. L.... C....

    WOW, I didn't know the song was originally done this far back. Great song :)

  83. D.... P....

    The 1999 version was great, but I LOVE the original 1978 version. Thanks so much for posting this!!

  84. J.... ....

    :) Luv it!!

  85. 1.... ....

    I absolutly love this song! I listen to it on my ipod right before i go to sleep because it is calming and it paints happy pictures in my mind!!!

  86. R.... M....

  90. A.... M....

    its so sweet it makes me cry

  91. b.... c....

    love this song forever xx
    babsie
    love allx

  92. L.... ....

    This song isn't about stealing someone away, it is about waiting on that one perfect person, or loving someone and not knowing how they feel. Check out Steve Wariner's other song "What if I said"

  93. k.... ....

    If you're ready taken, no one else should matter. You know, love before what if's, and for any guy to send this to a taken woman and try to charm her with it is just lame.

  94. C.... A....

    Such a beautiful, sweet, sweet song. :)

  95. r.... ....

    I am 16, and I already miss my younger days. There was alot there that was special to me. I wish I had all that back.

  96. B.... ....

    The first time I saw Steve in concert was when I was 14 in 1982. I met him between the two shows at the Branding Iron in San Bernardino. A DJ I talked to lot introduced us. During the second set he dedicated this song to me. Just him playing the guitar. His brother Terry joined in on drums towards the end. He totally won my heart over at that time.

  97. w.... ....

    True about his duet album. However, Steve was known as a "singles artist" in his early days, who would put out singles such as this without releasing an album. This was his first single release.
