Oh, 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 to 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 Don't take your love Girl, if you take your love away from me I'm gonna be in misery Your love is the strength that I lean upon How will I make it when it's gone? Of all the little things I wanted to say, I really wanted to do Girl , this time Ooh, 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, no no no 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
