When You Took Your Love From Me (Single Version)

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)
