[Verse 1]
|
After the hopin and prayin and the wishin
|
Girl you're right here in my face
|
I've never been the one to bite my tongue
|
But I have not one word to say
|
I'm mesmerized by your sexy eyes
|
And your soft and lovely skin
|
I want this fiasco to end
|
So baby we can start all over again
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Listen I wanna be able
|
I wanna be able to love you, oh I
|
I wanna be able
|
And let me be the one to please you, oh I
|
As sure as the sun shines all over the earth
|
You're one of God's most precious works
|
See I'm a man and we make mistakes
|
But please don't take your love away, oh I
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Don't take your love away
|
Baby don't take your love away from me
|
I need you girl
|
Don't take your love away
|
Don't take your love away
|
Don't take your love away
|
Baby don't take your love away from me
|
I need you
|
Don't take your love away baby
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Mama said don't put your hands in the cookie jar
|
She said, "Son, have control"
|
She said everything thats that's
|
sweet ain't good for you, no
|
And everything that glitters ain't gold
|
And now that you're gone I realize
|
I've lost my soul
|
And I don't wanna pass the torch
|
Baby can you give me one more chance
|
|
[Bridge]
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
See girl I know that I hurt you so
|
With all those girls that were in my world
|
Stacy and Kim, damn all of them
|
Girl I wanna give you everything I can
|
I know you're tired of my games,
|
Tired of my lies
|
Baby this time I promise it'll be alright
|
No longer will you be lead astray
|
Baby listen to the words I say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
