When You Took Your Love From Me Songtext
von O.V. Wright

Would you take the wings from a bird
Knowing he can′t fly?
Would you take the ball 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
When you know he ain't got no eye?

Oh, baby, can't you see?
Oh my darling, that′s what happened
One day, when you took your love from me
Good God!


I′ve been loving you too long, babe (I've been loving you)
But you′ve almost become a part of me (too long)
Here's another thing (too long)
I′m a prisoner of your love, baby (I've been loving you)
But it′s a funny thing, I don't want you to set me free (ooh)
Ooh!

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)
