O.V. Wright - When You Took Your Love From Me

Текст песни

Would you take the wings from a bird?
Knowing he can’t fly
Would you take the from a little bitty baby?
And you know he’s gonna cry
Look here
Would you take the fish out of the water?
Knowing, knowing the little feller’s gonna die
Would you take the cane from a blind man?
And you know he ain’t got no eye
Oh, baby, can you see?
Oh, my darling, thats what happened
One day when you took your love from me
Good God!
I been loving you too long (I've been loving you)
But you’ve almost become a part of me (Too long)
There’s another thing
I’m a prisoner of your love, baby (I've been loving you)
But its a funny thing
I don’t want you to set me free, oh!
Would you take the sails from the ship?
And you know it ain’t gon' move
Good God!
Would you take all of the beats from a melody?
Lord have mercy!
And just let it lose its groove?
Oh, baby, can’t you see?
Oh, my darling, that’s what happened
When you took your love from me
I know you understand what I’m saying
One day you took your love from me
(Took your love from me)
I lost the will to live, baby
(Took your love from me)
And then you took your love from me
(Took your love from me)
And here’s another thing
You knocked me down on my knees
(Took your love from me)
I got to stay down just because of your love
(Took your love from me)
Oh!
