Take Her Place Lyrics

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes, I need your sweet distraction
It's been a long time, I've been out here on the line
It doesn't need to be right, I need to fight the attraction
I just need you to steal my heart away from my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I know, why we're both here all alone
Take my broken heart now and hold me close

[Chorus]
You can take her place tonight
I need somebody in the morning
Somebody to hold me tight
You don't even have to mean it
You can take her place tonight
Don't even have to talk in the morning
Oh, I know it ain't right
But you can take her place tonight


[Drop]
You can take her place tonight
I need somebody in the morning
Somebody to hold me tight
You don't even have to mean it
You can take her place tonight
Don't even have to talk in the morning
Oh, I know it ain't right
But you can take her place tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

What did Don Diablo say about "Take Her Place"?
Genius Answer

Been following A R I Z O N A from their debut album and have been a huge fan since then. They’re not only amazing musicians but also amazing people which makes this collaboration extra exciting for me… ‘Take Her Place’ is the second single of my upcoming album and it’s the perfect marriage between my trademark production style and the band’s signature sound.

‒ Don Diablo shared about the collaboration.


All chances to collaborate for us have been great experiences, and yet ‘Take Her Place’ has been truly special. It’s a fun song, and it’s been fun to make; especially while we’re at the beginning of working on our own second album now. It has made friends out of many good people. From sharing in the writing process with such a genuine guy and natural collaborator like Scott Harris, to having Don Diablo’s production give such an energetic feel to the record, we couldn’t have asked for a cooler outcome.
