Taking Me Back (Gently) lyrics

[Intro]
(One, two)
(One, two three)

[Verse 1]
When you take out the figures
And you pull all the triggers
Well, you're taking me back
Yes, you're taking me back

[Pre-Chorus]
When you listen to mystics
As you lay at your picnics
Well, you're taking me back
You are taking me back

[Chorus]
I'll bet you do
But not for long
I'm alone
But not for long

[Verse 2]
When I'm down on the floor
You'll see that no one will notice me
Well, breaking my back
Yes, I'm breaking my back
[Pre-Chorus]
When you drop the mail off to me
And make us both coffee
Are you taking it black?
Are you taking me back?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When you forgive the friction
And you talk about Christmas
Are you taking me back?
Are you taking me back?
When I recall the history
These kids are a mystery
They're taking me back
They are taking me back
