Take Me On
By Richie Sambora; Appears on "On The Line" Soundtrack

You’ve been out all night, that’s right
Underneath your black umbrella
Halos around the lights, so bright
Like neon angels in the sky
But they don’t fly

You walk by this empty street
I’m hoping that our eyes might meet
Your heart’s too blind to see me
That’s the price of being lonely

If you want real love,
If you think that you’re tough enough, take me on
Take me on, take me on, take me on
If you want to be turned around
If you want to touch higher ground
For the love that you’ve been missing
If you think that you’re that strong, take me on

In a small café all day
Staring in a cup of coffee
Time just slips away
Smoking your last cigarette, with no regret
I say hello; you look away
But there’s a smile behind your face
There’s something more between us
But your heart’s too scared to say

If you want real love
If you think that you’re tough enough, take me on
Take me on, take me on, take me on
If you want to be turned around
If you want to touch higher ground
For the love that you’ve been missing
If you think that you’re that strong, take me on

There’s a face in every window
A light goes out, someone’s alone, so alone
When they wake up in the morning
It’s another day, another chance gone, gone

If you want real love
If you think that you’re tough enough, take me on
Take me on
If you want to be turned around
If you want to touch higher ground
For the love that you’ve been missing
If you think that you’re that strong, take me on

Real love
If you think that you’re tough enough, take me on
Take me on, take me on, take me on
If you want to be turned around
If you want to touch higher ground
For the tenderness you’re missing
If you think that you’re that strong, take me on

Real love, take me on
Tough enough, take me on
Take me on, take me on, take me on

If you want to be turned around
If you want to touch higher ground
For the love that you’ve been missing
If you think that you’re that strong, take me on
