Dionne Warwick — Don’t Burn the Bridge That Took You Across

[Verse 1] With just my love I kept you standing Till you were ready for life's flight, with happy landings The ways of life I taught you All you needed I brought you And when you fell I caught you I made you strong Now you're leaving, I have no one [Chorus] (Don't burn the bridge that took you across) Don't burn the bridge that took you across (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost) Don't walk away and leave me lost (No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge (Don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge [Verse 2] You were my weakness, I was your strength You took my love to build all of your confidence You usеd me, then betrayеd me But there's been less you've paid me I'm lost but you won't save me So deep I hurt, you bet Don't drop me where I picked you up [Chorus] (Don't burn the bridge that took you across) Don't burn the bridge that took you across (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost) Don't walk away and leave me lost (No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge (Don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge [Bridge] Oh, baby, baby, mhm... Don't burn it, baby, baby Now I can't make it, I need your help Don't leave me here to save myself Don't burn it, baby, mhm... Oh, don't burn it, baby, mhm... [Verse 3] You lit the match that set my dreams on fire You left me with tears to dry round my desires My world's without a bout [?] With pain too big to stop them So soon I've been forgotten, from joy to pain There's been enough to make amends [Outro] (Don't burn the bridge that took you across) Don't burn the bridge that took you across (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost) Don't walk away and leave me lost (No no, baby, don't burn the bridge) don't burn the bridge (That took you across) don't burn the bridge (No no, baby, don't walk away and leave me lost) Don't burn the bridge, no (No no, baby, don't...)
