Don't Take Your Love Away

After the hopin' and the prayin' and the wishin'

Girl, you're right here in my face

I've never been the one to bite my tongue, no, no

But I have not one word to say

I'm mesmerized by your sexy eyes, and

Your soft and lovely skin

I want this fiasco to end

So, baby, we can start all over again

Listen

I want to be able, I want to be able to love you, oh I

I want to be able and let me be the one to please you, oh I

As sure as the sunshine shines all over the earth

You're one of God's most precious worths

See, I'm a man and we make mistakes

But please don't take your love away, oh I

(Don't take your love away) Don't take

(Baby, don't take your love away from me) I need you, girl

(Don't take your love away) Oh

Don't take your love away

(Don't take your love away) Don't take

(Baby, don't take your love away from me)

Don't take your love

Away

Baby

Mama said don't put your hands in the cookie jar

She said, son, have control

She said everything that's sweet ain't good for you, no

Any everything that glitters ain't gold

And now that you're gone, I realize (Yes, I do)

I lost my soul (Preach)

And I don't want to pass the torch

Baby, can you give me one more chance?

(I want to be able) Able to do everything I didn't do before for you, baby

(I want to be able) Listen, I want to love you o-o-o-over again

Gotta hold myself together, stay strong

Baby, you been gone too long

See, I'm a man and we make mistakes

So baby, baby, baby, don't take your love away

(Don't take your love away) I'll get down on my hands and knees

(Baby, don't take your love away from me I need you, girl)

(Don't take your love away) Don't, don't leave me now

(Don't take your love away) I need you right here with me

(Don't take your love away) Please, please, please, please, please, yeah

Baby, don't take your love away from me, I need you, girl

See, girl I know that I hurt you so (Girl, I know)

All of those girls that were in my world

Now Stacy and Kim

Damn all of them

Girl, I want to give you everything that I can

I know you are tired of my game

Tired of my lies

Baby, this time, I promise it'll be alright

No longer will you be lead astray

Baby, listen to the words I say

(Don't take your love away)

(Baby don't take your love away from me, I need you, girl)

(Don't take your love away) I've been searching here and there, everywhere

(Don't take your love away) And I can't find no one like you, girl

(Don't take your love away) Don't take your love away

(Baby don't take your love away from me, I need you, girl)

Don't take your love
