She thinks I'm not busy

Thinks I don't have feelings

While right now I'm only thinking

'Cause she's my whole world

Then tell me what you want

Staring makes me go quiet

Then tell me what you want

Staring makes me go quiet

We were only eight

Sat in class

Next to Thomas and Willem

In front of Mark and Bas

You sat up front, looked back

I sent you notes and asked you why

You wrote back

I think you're sweet, I'm on a cloud and in love

Ten years later we were together

I was a boy, you were already a lady

I knew for sure you're the one

Nobody I could stare at that long

Sometimes it's tough but this is my job

To you I'm Gerwin and Gers is the brand

I'll take you, take you on a trip

Take you to Rome or Paris

I may seem cool till you know what I feel now

You sound like music so let me show you what I mean

I'll take you

I think of her and she thinks of me

You're too busy, that's what she told me

She wants to go shopping with me, and eat out together

Wants to hit the movies and date me

But I want music and money in the bank

All my fans who've waited so long

I want to build a future with her

Two kids, a house with a yard by the water

Dog or tomcat, whatever you want

But don't keep staring 'cause then I go quiet

I do this for us and work hard

'Cause I love you with all my heart

I'll take you, take you on a trip

Take you to Rome or Paris

I may seem cool till you know what I feel now

You sound like music so let me show you what I mean

I'll take you

She thinks I'm not busy

Thinks I don't have feelings

While right now I'm only thinking

'Cause she's my whole world

Then tell me what you want

Staring makes me go quiet

Then tell me what you want

Staring makes me go quiet

I'll take you, take you on a trip

Take you to Rome or Paris

I may seem cool till you know what I feel now

You sound like music so let me show you what I mean

I'll take you

SONG MEANING

Ik Neem Je Mee is a playful love letter in rap form. Gers Pardoel looks back on a childhood crush that grew into real love, painting snapshots of passing notes in class, day-dreamy staring, and the certainty that she is “his whole world.” The catchy chorus “Ik neem je mee” – “I’ll take you with me” – is both a romantic invitation to hop on a plane to Rome or Paris and a promise that she will share in every adventure his rising music career brings.

Beneath the breezy travel imagery, the song wrestles with a very relatable tug-of-war: chasing dreams versus giving time to the ones you love. While fans and studio sessions keep pulling him away, Gers reassures his partner that the hustle is for their future – a home by the water, kids, even a pet of her choice. The result is an upbeat anthem that mixes wanderlust, nostalgia, and heartfelt devotion, reminding us that true success feels better when you can bring someone special along for the ride.
