White Stripes - Take Take Take lyrics

I was sitting there in a comfortable chair

And that was all that I needed

Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share

And that was all that I needed

Well, then I felt at ease

But then I'm not too hard to please

I guess you couldn't call me greedy

Then I was shocked to look up

And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy

She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair

And that was all that I needed

And I said to my friend, "good god, we're lucky men just to even see her"

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her

And that was all that I needed

I walked and loomed around her table for a while

And that was all that I needed

Then I said, "i hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?"

And that was all that I needed

She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper

And that was all that I needed

Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth

And that was all that I needed

Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see

That that was all that I needed

I started to walk away but then I remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture'

So I asked her one more time, "could I have another favor?"

That was all that I needed

She was kind and posed with me

Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep,"

And it seemed so mean

It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being

She said, "good night" and walked away

And I didn't know what to say

I just couldn't believe it

Well, it's just not fair

I want to get a piece of hair

That was all that I needed

Or maybe a kiss on the cheek

I wouldn't wash it for a week

That would be all that I needed

But she didn't even care

That I was even there

What a horrible feeling
