[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]
