Music by elton john Lyrics by gary osborne Available on the album 21 at 33 If you want my loving take me back If you miss my touch little girl take me back When the dreams you lean on are beginning to crack Open up your heart little girl and take me back If you want my loving then take me back If you're on your own little girl take me back When the nights grow longer turning blacker than black Open up your heart little girl and take me back Playing a part you're well prepared for, there you stand With all I ever cared for in your hand I'm waiting all the time For some kind of sign from you And I'll go on and on this way Waiting for the day When I will hear you say You'll take me back If you want my loving well take me back If you're feeling down little girl Then you'll take me back When you look around you for the love that you lack Open up your heart little girl You got my heart little girl Make a start little girl And say you'll take me back Take me back
