Girl Don’t Take Your Love From Me – Lyrics

No, no
No, no

Foolish of me
I couldn’t see the forest for the trees
You’ve been so true
I’ve been so cruel to you
Oh, girl, please don’t leave me
If you stay
I’ll find a way to erase the past
Baby, don’t leave me
Girl, don’t take your love from me

Oh, girl
What can I say to make you stay
Baby, don’t leave me
You’ve been so kind
It blows my mind to know
Oh, girl, I really hurt you

Tell me girl, it’s not too late
And you’ll give me a chance
To make it up to you
Don’t take your love from me
Girl, don’t take your love
No, no, no, no
Don’t take your love

Girl, if you take your love away from me
I’m gonna be in misery
How will I make when it’s gone
Of all the little things I wanted to say
I really wanted to do
Girl, this time

Oh, girl, I really mean it
So tell me, girl, it’s not too late
And you’ll give me a chance
To make it up to you
Don’t take your love from me
Girl, don’t take your love
Don’t take your love

Don’t leave me, girl
Don’t take your love from me
Baby, don’t take your love from me
Don’t take your love from me
