O.V. Wright — When You Took Your Love From Me

[Verse 1] Would you take the wings from a bird? Knowing he can't fly Would you take the [?] 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? And you know he ain't got no eye Oh, baby, can you see? Oh, my darling, thats what happened One day when you took your love from me Good God! [Chorus] I been loving you too long (I've been loving you) But you've almost become a part of me (Too long) There's another thing I'm a prisoner of your love, baby (I've been loving you) But its a funny thing I don't want you to set me free, oh! [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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) Oh!
