BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
I'VE BEEN LIVING FOR TEN LONG YEARS
SEARCHING FOR A RHYTHM IN BLUE
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD SEE STRAIGHT BABY
UNTIL I SET MY EYES ON YOU

CHORUS
ALL I WANT IS A TASTE OF YOUR FORBIDDEN FRUIT
ALL I WANT IS A DRINK FROM YOUR FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
BEEN LOOKING AT YOU EVERYDAY DAY
STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M BIG BROTHER
BABY IF YOU ONLY KNEW
DOESN'T SEEM THAT LONG AGO - YOU WERE STILL IN SCHOOL
YOU USED TO WALK BY, YOU'D SAY HI - I NEVER NOTICED YOU

CHORUS


BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
IF I TOLD YOU WHAT I FELT I WONDER WHAT YOU'D DO
DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU BABY
JUST WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
