"Don't Let Him Take Your Love From Me"

"Don't Let Him Take Your Love From Me"


Hmm, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

You don't have to tell me you've gone to found someone new.
'Cause I can feel his presence, whenever I'm-a kissing you.
How can you ask me to try, try and understand
Well, just put yourself in my place.
Go on, just see if you can.

I'm-a begging you. (Don't, don't you let him)
Baby, please. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
I'm begging you, baby. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)

So what if he whispers how much he loves you in your ear.
But pay no mind 'cause I love you much more my dear, huh.
My love are like mountains.
That's how strong it is for you.
If you ever walk away in to his arms
Which will surely break my heart in two.

I'm begging you. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Baby, baby, I'm begging. (Don't, don't you let him)
No, no, no, no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Oh, I couldn't stand it, baby.

[Instrumental]

If you leave me for him you would truly be unfair.
Now, just ask yourself, whenever you needed me, wasn't I always there
Now, I'm begging you, baby, baby, down on my bended knees.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, please stay here with me.

Baby, please. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Baby, baby, please. (Don't, don't you let him)
I couldn't stand it. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
I ain't too proud to beg. (Don't, don't you let him)

If it's love that you're running from, there's no hiding place.
(You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it)
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.

And don't look back. Oh yeah, yeah.
And don't look back, baby. (Don't look back)
(The places behind you let them re-remind you.)

If your first lover broke your heart,
There's something that can be done.

Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done.

So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walking and don't look back.
Forget about the past now.
Don't look back, baby.
Keep on walking and don't look back. Hmmm
(The places behind you let them re-remind you.)

Love can be a beautiful thing.
Though your first love let you down.
Oh yeah, yeah
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby.
The second time around.
Oh yeah, yeah

So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on pushing and don't look back.
Now, till I say, we won't look back, girl.
Keep on walking and won't look back.
Forget about the past now, baby.
And don't look back.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't look back.

"Fading Away"

"Fading Away"


The feeling we used to get, whenever our lips met.
Like smoke from a cigarette, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

It hurts me to think about, how love where there was no doubt.
Like a cloud when the sun comes out, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

Hmm, you've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?

The plans we were making up, for I'll never breaking up.
Like dreams when you're waking up, are fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

The good times we shared alot, when you really cared alot.
Like steam from a coffee pot, it's fading way.
Fading away, fading away.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?

[Instrumental]

Like smoke from a cigarette, of dreams that you soon forget.
Our love from the day we met, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Going.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Going.
