About Take Me in Your Arms and Love Me

"Take Me in Your Arms and Love Me" is a song and single by American group, Gladys Knight & the Pips written by Barrett Strong, Cornelius Grant and Rodger Penzabene. It was produced by Norman Whitfield. Originally released in the US on the Soul label in 1967 with "Do You Love Me Just a Little, Honey" as the B-side, it was later released in the UK in 1967 on the Tamla Motown label. It made number 13 in the UK charts in June 1967 and was Gladys Knight & the Pips' first UK hit. It also appeared on their 1967 album Everybody Needs Love, where the song's erotic nature was censored. Critic John Lowe for AllMusic felt the editing "damaged the song's story structure" and "undermined Knight's erotic awareness for the song". The song was also recorded by The Flirtations in 1971 on the Polydor label, and by Scritti Politti featuring rapper Sweetie Irie in 1991 on Virgin Records. more »

Thanks to Char Star for these lyrics.
Ooh...ooh...
The moon above is shining bright
Come on, boy, the time is right
Here I am (Here I am)

Take me in your arms and just love me, ooh
There's a mist of ecstasy
That's flowing over me
Here I am (Here I am)

Take me in your arms and just love me, oh, baby
My love is new, my love is sweet
Now's the time that I?ll be sweet
Hold me, boy, don't hesitate

I need you now, don't make me wait
You're the one that I adore
Tell me what are you waiting for
Here I am (Here I am)

Take me in your arms and love me, ooh
Boy, I'm hungry for your love
Give me what I'm in need of
Here I am (Here I am)

Take me in your arms and just love me
Oh, baby, come let?s share the joy and splendor
Of this matter warm and tender
Hold me tight, kiss me long

Make this night one sweet song
(Love me, love me) Ooh, sugar
My eager heart is pounding fast
Don't lose the feeling, make it last

Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and just love me
Oh, baby, take me higher with the touch
That thrills me darling, oh, so much

Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me, baby, baby
This feeling is strong hard
Any second now I?ll explode

Now's the time, now?s the time
Take all of this love of mine
Love me, love me, love me, love me, come on and love me
I'll be true to you

Do what you want me to
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms and love me, oh, baby
I'll be true to you
And do what you want me to

Take me in your arms, take me in your arms and love me, baby, baby, baby
I'll be true to you
And do what you want me to
