I Want To Take You Higher Lyrics

[Intro: The Ikettes]
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Tina Turner]
Beat is gettin' stronger
The beat is gettin' longer, too
Music's soundin' good to me
But I wanna, said I wanna

[Chorus: Tina Turner & The Ikettes]
I wanna take you higher
Yeah, let me take you higher
Baby, baby, let me light your fire
Ooh yeah, little bit higher
Ooh, woo, ooh

[Post-Chorus: The Ikettes]
Boom-shacka-lacka-lacka
Boom-shacka-la-boonka-boom
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2: Tina Turner]
Beat is nitty-gritty
Music's in your city, too
Music's gettin' good to me
But now don't ya, I said don't ya
[Chorus: Tina Turner & The Ikettes]
Don't ya wanna get higher?
Yeah, don't ya wanna get higher?
Baby, baby, let me light your fire
Ooh ha, little bit higher
Woo, woo, hoo

[Post-Chorus: The Ikettes]
Boom-shacka-lacka-lacka
Boom-shacka-la-boonka-boom
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Bridge: Tina Turner & The Ikettes]
Come on, baby (Higher)
Don't ya wanna get high (Higher)

Boom-shacka-lacka-lacka
Boom-shacka-la-boonka-boom
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3: Tina Turner]
Beat is here to make you move
Music's here to help you groove
Music's soundin' good to me
But take your places

[Outro: Tina Turner & The Ikettes]
I'm gonna take you (Higher, higher)
Yeah, baby, gonna take ya (Higher, higher)
Ooh, yeah, little bit higher
Come on, daddy (Higher)
A little bit (Higher, higher)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
