Take me to Harlem
where I was born, yeah
all the way back to '74
January 1, plus 9 was the day, yay yeah
that turned midnight when my mama pushed me away
That's why I say
Oh lord, take me back home lord
Oh lord, take me back home lord
They hustle you good now
'cause you want it so bad
You know the sun don't shine as bright
as the devil can (sometimes)
Take me to Harlem, yeah
said the preacher scam
Get your butt out the bed and rise
you dirty young sinnerman
Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty
That's why I say
Oh lord, take me back home lord
I said oh lord, take me back home lord
Say it now oh lord, take me back home lord
Then I said oh lord, take me back home lord
Yeah, you wanna know the truth
I won't tell, yeah
Say you wanna know truth
You do, hey
Wanna know
Say you wanna know truth now
Say you wanna know truth
You wanna know it
Ooh, yeah
Take me to Harlem (take me babe)
where I was born, yeah (where I was born, I was born)
All the way back to '74 ('74)
That's why I say
Oh lord, take me back home lord (ooh)
I said oh lord, take me back home lord (take me back)
Say it now oh lord, take me back home lord
Then I said oh lord, take me back home lord
