Luther Vandross
Take You Out (Live at Radio City Music Hall, New York – Feb. 12, 2003)

[Intro]
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Y'all don't know this song, don't try it
(Hey, Cindy) (What is it, girl?) (Valerie) (Yeah?)
(I gotta tell y'all somethin')
What is she talkin' 'bout now? (Oh, tell us somethin')
(I like me somebody) (You do?) (Mhm)
(Who do you like?) (I like that juicy one right over there)
Oh, she knows what to like, you know what I'm sayin'?
(Alright now) (Yeah, baby) (Kinda cute)
Yeah, see, they're acting all confident now, Kevin, talkin' 'bout she like
But there's one note I'm gon' hit, and watch 'em, they gon' drop like flies
(Come on, man) I know
Hey (Woo, ooh, I can't stand it, mmm, mmm, mmm), ah yeah
Here it is

[Verse 1]
Shе caught me by surprise, I must say
'Cause I nеver had seen such a pretty face
With such a warm and beautiful smile
It wasn't hard for me to notice her style
I was fascinated, surely
She took my heart and held it for me
I wouldn't let her get away
Not until she heard me say
[Chorus]
Excuse me miss (Yeah)
What's your name?
Where are you from?
And I come and possibly
Can I take you out tonight?
To the movie, to the park (Yeah, yeah)
I'll have you home before it's dark (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
So let me know
Can I take you out tonight?

[Verse 2]
Don't care if I get rejected
At least then I won't regret it
Regret the fact I missed the chance for romance
At least I walk away knowing
I tried my best and I'm going
I'm going on with my day
'Cause at least she heard me say

[Chorus]
Excuse me miss (Come on)
What's your name?
Where are you from? (Hey, you)
And I come and possibly
Can I take you out tonight?
To the movie, to the park
I'll have you home before it's dark
So let me know
Can I take you out tonight?
Excuse me miss (Ooh)
What's your name? (I wanna know you)
Where are you from? (I think I can show you good love)
And I come and possibly
Can I take you out tonight?
To the movie, to the park (Tonight, don't worry)
I'll have you home before it's dark (Hey)
So let me know
Can I take you out tonight?
[Bridge]
That's why I had to come over
And introduce myself to you
'Cause you never know where you're gonna find love, uh-huh
And hopefully I found it in you

[Chorus]
Excuse me miss (Yeah)
What's your name?
Where are you from? (Oh yeah)
And I come and possibly
Can I take you out tonight?
To the movie, to the park (Got love for you, baby)
I'll have you home before it's dark
(I'll come get you, baby, yes, I will)
So let me know
Can I take you out tonight?
Excuse me miss (Come on)
What's your name? (Tonight)
Where are you from? (Uh, tonight)
And I come and possibly
Can I take you out tonight? (Ooh)
To the movie, to the park (Haha)
I'll have you home before it's dark (Hoo, hoo)
So let me know
Can I take you out tonight?
[Outro]
Excuse me miss, but what's your name?
Where are you from?
And I come and possibly
Can I take you out tonight?
To the movie, to the park
I'll have you home before it's dark
So let me know
Can I take you out to—, tonight?
Yeah, yeah, hey
