I wrote this song 32 years ago at the tender age of 19. A couple of years ago I added the bridge, and more recently the backing vocal replies. It's taken a while to get this recorded, but in reality I could never have recorded this back then, at least not in a way that does it any justice. (although I think there is a dodgy 4 track of an early version of it somewhere - eek!) Time has allowed both the song and the musician to develop :-)

This track features musicians from 3 continents, and it would still be just another song in my head without their fantastic talents, so my thanks to each and every one of them!

[ Take me higher baby
Take me higher
Baby take me there ]
 
I can't go on forever
In this fashion
You're the straw that broke the camel
Playin' with my passion
I'm essentially weak
I crave love's distractions
Your body's all talk baby
But so little action
 
Perfect line and length
You drain my strength
So discreet
Tempt my desire
Take me higher
Then retreat
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
 
I can't take it no more
I can't fight the fire
You could tip the balance baby
Quench my desire
Love's potentially sweet
Put the gears on action
There'd be no time for talkin'
If you'd let love find the traction
 
Perfect line and length
You drain my strength
So discreet
Tempt my desire
Take me higher
Then retreat
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
 
[ Take me higher baby
Take me higher
Baby take me there ]
 
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet baby
You're leavin' me
Dead on my feet girl
You heat me up
You're just playin' with me baby
You light the fire
Just to drive me crazy girl
