{guitar intro}



Oh, I take what I want

oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah.

Yes, I am.

I'm never a loser,

and I'm never a quitter, yeah.

Oh, no

'Cos I take what I want,

yeah, baby, I want you.

Nobody but you, child.



I've been a-watching you walk by.

But I never said a word

Not one word

But now I'm there to get you

and I'm gonna make you my girl.

My loving girl now

'Cos I take what I want

Yeah, baby, I want you.

Nobody but you, child.



Gonna pick you up now

carry you away, yes, I am.

So you better pack up now, baby

Pack it up today

Here I come

Just a big, bad man.

When you see me walk away, baby

You'll be holding my hand.



'Cos I take what I want,

oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah

yes, I am

And now I'm there to get you,

and I'm gonna make you my girl.

My loving girl now.

'Cos I take what I want.

Yeah, baby, I want you.

Nobody but you child

Nobody but you, you, you

{fadeout}

Nobody but you

Nobody but you.....
