Don't Take (My Baby Away)
(Pat Robinson, Ron Coleman, Rocky Burnette)
I'll take the blues ? tragic news
Walk the sidewalks ? pay my dues
I'll take the rain over my head
But don't take my baby
CHORUS
Don't take ? don't take ? don't take
Don't ever take my baby away
Don't take ? don't take ? don't take
Don't ever take my baby away
I'll do my time ? do my share
Leave me the moonlight ? in her hair
'Cause she's the one thing ? that I need
Don't take my baby
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Don't take the one
The only one
Don't take the one I need ? don't take
Now I've known empty
I've known pain
'Til I've nearly gone insane
But I'm still upon my feet
Because of my baby
CHORUS (twice)
