Song Lyrics

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
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 worth's
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 (my baby)
I need you girl
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
(That's what she said)
And everything that glitters ain't gold
And now that you're gone
I realize (yes I do) I lost my soul (preach)
And I want to pass the torch
Baby can you give me one more (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 (Beggin, beggin you please)
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 (don't take your love away)

See girl I know that I hurt you so (girl I know)
All of those girls that were in my world (In my world)
Now Stacy and Kim
Damn all of them
Girl I want to give you everything that I can (everything yeah)
I know you're tired of my game (of my game)
Tired of my lies (of my lies)
Baby this time I promise it'll be alright
(No, no, no, no, no)
No longer will you be lead astray
Baby listen to the words I say

Don't take your love away (yeah, yeah)
Baby don't take your love away from me
(Yes, don't take your love no)
I need you girl
Don't take your love away (I've been searchin here and there, everywhere)
Don't take your love away (and can't find no one like you, no)
Don't take your love away (don't take your love away)
Baby don't take your love away from me (listen to me lady, lady, lady)
I need you girl
Don't take your love
Hm, hm, hm
