ANSWER: Dear Jasmine,

The title is TAKE THIS LOVE and was recorded by SERGIO MENDES for his album NONSTOP released in 1986. It's the same albmu which produced the radio hit WHAT DO WE MEAN TO EACH OTHER. Both songs utilized the vocal prowess of JOE PIZZULO. Here's its lyrics:

TAKE THIS LOVE / SERGIO MENDES

I know what you're thinking
Your eyes give you away
We've been talking all night long
And there's nothing left to say
It's a mutual emotion
Nothing's standing in the way

I've got this feelin' babe
That this was meant to be
You've been playing hard to get
I've waited patiently
It just keeps getting harder
There's a point of no return
'Cause the heat is in the moment
And the moment's in your hands

CHORUS
Take this love and let the night begin
(I want to give it all to you)
Time for you to show the way you feel
(You know how long I've waited)
I need a reason, a meaning in my life
So open up and take this love tonight

Too many wasted nights of hollow victories
But I know this time is diff'rent babe 'cause you mean so much to me
You're the answer to my question
And I need the answer now
'Cause the heat is in the moment
And the moment says it all

(Repeat Chorus)

Maraming salamat po!!

QUESTION: Hi again,
I have another song that I like but has no idea what the title is...and here it goes.

"words playing again, like a radio tune
I swear I hear before.

lost in snow filled sky, it'll make it alright, to come
undone.
who do you need?
who do you love?, when you come undone

who do you need?
who do you love?, when you come undone"

thanks,
jasmine  

Answer
Dear Jasmine,

That would be COME UNDONE by DURAN DURAN. It was from their 1993 album DURAN DURAN - THE WEDDING ALBUM. Here's its lyrics:

COME UNDONE / DURAN DURAN

Mine, immaculate dream, made breath and skin, Ive been waiting for you,
Signed, with a home tattoo, happy birthday to you was created for you.

(cant ever keep from falling apart.. at the seams)
(cant I believe youre taking my heart.. to pieces)

Ahh, itll take a little time, might take a little crime to come undone
Now well try to stay blind, to the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry.

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone.

(chorus)

Words, playing me deja vu, like a radio tune I swear Ive heard before,
Chill, is it something real, or the magic Im feeding off your fingers

(cant ever keep from falling apart.. at the seams)
(can I believe youre taking my heart.. to pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky, well make it alright, to come undone,
Now well try to stay blind, to the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind -
And blow me in to cry.

(chorus)

Maraming salamt po!!
