If I Take You Home (Upon...) Lyrics

I'm on the highway;
If you're going my way,
Let's take the fast lane to your place... together...
Somethin's come over me:
I stink of teenage heat;
Lay me down before I freeze... forever...

Girls: (If I take you home, will you respect me in the mornin'?)
"Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah..." [said the boys.]
Girls: (If I take you home, will you write my name in a song?)
"Yeah, yeah..." [lied the boys.]

I want you 'cause I need to;
Never felt so sure about a cure upon meeting someone new...

Watch me, baby!
Watch me!

We're going nowhere;
Can't wait to get back there,
So, I can pull your hair... forever...
(I know it feels good...) You know it feels good,
(Just the way pain should...) Just the way pain should;
(The young and dirty laugh through...)
The young and dirty laugh through it... together...

All the fighting and colliding has got my lovin' bent;
(Yeah, yeah...)
Indication of a strained relation has my devotion spent...
(Yeah, yeah...)

I know what it looks like, but the time is right;
Never felt so sure about a cure for the quiet life...

I want you 'cause I need to;
Never felt so sure about a cure upon meeting someone new...

Hey there, lady... Won't you take me home?
I'll write yo' name in a song...
Hey there, lady... Won't you take me home?
I'll write yo' name in a song...
Hey there, lady... Won't you take me home?
I'll write yo' name in a song...
Hey there, lady... Won't you take me home?
I'll write yo' name in a song...
Hey there, lady... Won't you take me home?
I'll write yo' name in a song...
Hey there, lady... Won't you take me home?
I'll write yo' name in a song...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
