Take Me Back Lyrics - Randy Newman

Everyone tells me 

I was dealt a losing hand 

The way that I look 

And the way that I act 

It's not hard to understand 

Sure I got troubles 

Maybe you got'em too 

I'd like to explain what has happened to me 

So it doesn't happen to you 

I was born in Los Angeles 

Many, many, many years ago 

We lived out in North Hollywood then 

In a steamy little bungalow 

My mother, my father 

My baby brother and me 

Playin' cowboys all day 

Out there in the valley 

What a perfect family

Hey, hey 

Get 'em up, get 'em up 

Come a ti yi 

Hey 

Went off to high school 

When I was thirteen 

I was kind of advanced 

If you know what I mean 

Ran into some trouble 

Drinkin' heavy with my friends in the hills 

My daddy had to come down to the station to get me 

He said, "Where is my angry young man?" 

Take me back 

Baby, please take me back 

I don't wanna live here by this dirty old airport 

In this greasy little shack 

Take me back 

Baby, please take me back 

Just give me a chance and we'll start all over again

Now that young girl 

Was just a summertime thing 

She went back to school 

When the school bell rang 

Now I do my laundry by myself 

Every night I eat alone 

Baby please, please, please 

Won't you let me come back home 

Goin' off to college 

Passed every test 

They said, "Let's send this boy to Palo Alto 

He could be one of the best" 

Four years at Stanford 

Worked very hard 

A lot of good it did me, little tramp, 

Your're ruining my life 

Take me back 

Baby, please take me back 

I don't wanna live here by this dirty old airport 

In this greasy little shack 

Take me back 

Baby, please take me back 

Just give me a chance 

And we'll start all over again 

Just give me a chance 

And we'll start all over
