"Take the Hook"

(Copyright 1995 Sherri Gough)

Verse 1:

Just a quarter carat diamond; it's the best that I could do

Bought it 'cause of love that I've been savin' up for you

They say if you don't take chances you'll never get too far

So I'm standin' on the edge of love fishin' for your heart

Verse 2:

A little nibble when we met; I stared at you, you stared at me

You caught me when you cast your net and now I'm on my knees

Let's put one and one together and forever you'll be mine

C'mon and catch my love; I've got my heart out on the line

Chorus:

Take the hook; trust your heart; make a leap of faith, baby

You gotta give a little if you wanna take

Everything's been said and done; don't throw my love away...

Take the hook, take the hook

Verse 3:

When you caught me I must admit I felt a little sting

Now I'm in love and I want you to wear my weddin' ring

And I'm gonna keep on fishin' 'till you take the bait

You're the best catch in the world; I won't let you get away

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

All the other fish in the sea don't swim in my ocean anymore

And I'd rather be in the water with you than flappin' out on the shore

Repeat Chorus
