Takin' Your Love Away

What do you mean you’re leaving? What aren’t you telling me? You had said that we could run away and make it out on our own; out in the wild. But now you’re packin’ up your things and givin’ me one last kiss good-bye. And I say that U can’t leave me. How am I supposed to live without you? He said I really don’t give a damn what you do. Keep the faith and never be afraid to follow your heart. I’ve told you time and time again that this love thing is too big for little girls. So I say. . . I’m sorry I fell asleep in your arms and cried right in them, You cared enough to dry them away, But now, That you turned away, I still don’t know how you did it and You’re Takin’ Your Love Away I picked him up at a bar. I didn’t have a care. No. I was too drunk, so he took me home, in his truck. He stayed with me all night long, Never once questioning. . . Never once leavin’ my side. As I rolled over the next morning A note was in his place: Call me if you need me, I’ll be back tonight, baby. So I said. . . I’m sorry I fell asleep in your arms and cried right in them, You cared enough to dry them away, But now, You turned to me, I still don’t know why you did and I hope that You’re not Takin’ Your Love Away So. . . Please don’t leave. . . So he said. . . I’m sorry I fell asleep in your arms and cried right in them, I hope you care enough to accept this ring, That’s all my heart. I still know why I do this to you and I don’t want you ever Takin’ Your Love Away I’m sorry I fell asleep in your arms and cried right in them, You cared enough to dry them away, But now, That you turned away, I still don’t know how you did it and You’re Takin’ Your Love Away I’m sorry I fell asleep in your arms and cried right in them, You cared enough to dry them away, But now, You turned to me, I still don’t know why you did and I hope that You’re not Takin’ Your Love Away I’m sorry I fell asleep in your arms and cried right in them, I hope you care enough to accept this ring, That’s all my heart. I still know why I do this to you and I don’t want you ever Takin’ Your Love Away If you love me enough. . . Then don’t Take Your Love Away
