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

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

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

Mama don't put your hands in the cookie jar
She said, son have control
She said everything that's 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

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

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

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 more will you be lead astray
Baby listen to the words I say

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
