About Take Me With U

"Take Me with U" is a song by Prince and The Revolution, and the final US single released from their album, Purple Rain (1984). The song is sung as a duet with Apollonia Kotero, and was originally intended for the Apollonia 6 album, but was pulled for the Purple Rain soundtrack. A result of this addition, Prince made cuts to the suite-like original "Computer Blue", which circulates among collectors in an extended version (a portion of this second section of "Computer Blue" can be heard in the film Purple Rain as Prince walks in on the men of The Revolution rehearsing. ) The original version of the song was about a minute longer. The single was released with an edit of album track "Baby I'm a Star" as its B-side, and reached number 25 on the top 40 chart in the US. In the UK, the song was issued as a double A-side single, coupled with "Let's Go Crazy", reaching number 7 in February 1985. Lisa Coleman sang underneath Apollonia's vocals to add fullness.

I can't disguise the pounding of my heart 
It beats so strong 
It's in your eyes, what can I say 
They turn me on 

I don't care where we go 
I don't care what we do 
I don't care pretty baby 
Just take me with you 

Come on and touch the place in me 
That's calling out your name 
We want each other oh so much 
Why must we play this game? 

I don't care where we go 
I don't care what we do 
I don't care pretty baby 
Just take me with you 

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion 
I don't care if we spend the night on the town 
All I want is to spend the night together 
All I want is to spend the night in your arms 
To be around you is so-oh right 
You're sheer perfection (thank you) 
Drive me crazy, drive me all night 
Just don't break up the connection
  
I don't care where we go 
I don't care what we do 
I don't care pretty baby 
Just take me with you 

I don't care where we go 
I don't care what we do 
I don't care pretty baby 
Just take me with you 

Just take me with you 
Won't you take me with you 
Honey, take me with you
