Don’t Take Your Love

[Intro: Daniel Daley & The Manhattans]
I, I, I, I should've told you
(Don't take your love from me)

[Verse 1: Daniel Daley & The Manhattans]
Why didn't I just listen? (That)
Why when you said you needed me the most, I just went missin'?
Why didn't I pay attention to my intuition? (That)
Because I know you, I know you, I know you and
I can feel you slippin' (That)
Like that time you hinted
That niggas got you on they hit list
Did you just think I missed it? (That)
I played that in my mind like thirty thousand times, I just wasn't bright
Why you bringin' up other niggas (That)
When I ain't out here bringin' up other bitches?
Sorry, no other women
This is you and me shit
This is about treatment
This is mostly recent
So don't you take, baby

[Chorus: Daniel Daley & The Manhattans]
(Don't take your love from me)
I, I, I, I should've told you
I, I, I, I, I should've showed you (That)
Time and focus, but I didn't
So I hopе you (Don't take your love from me)
Oh, oh-oh
I, I, I, I know I chosе you
And I wasn't doing things I was supposed to (That)
Girl, I'm beggin' you, please, please
(Don't take your love from me)
Oh, oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2: Daniel Daley & The Manhattans]
I'd do anything to please you girl (That)
I'd even pull a Yeezy and move across the street so I could see you, girl
How many times could I repeat it, girl? (That)
You sent me pictures with me with her, but that was my nigga Weezy's girl
I know you called, but I missed it
I swear I called you right back though
I don't know why you didn't get it (That)
You know how my phone be trippin' when I be long distance
Fuck, I didn't call you back, I'll just admit it
(Fuck, you're right, okay?)
Sometimes a man's gotta be a man
Sometimes we're stuck in our head about things that women never understand (That)
Dreams, ambitions, and people in need of money
I don't always wanna talk about how I feel, the world's sleepin' on me
I pull back but things are getting hectic
There's things we forgot to address so we went in the wrong direction (That)
I dropped the ball more than I care to mention
I paid for more gifts than I paid attention, I know you need affection
Don't wanna find myself and lose you (That)
Too many people said they love me and they didn't, I know who's who
You say you do and I believe you (That)
So you can do anything you need to
Just don't take your love

[Chorus: Daniel Daley & The Manhattans]
(Don't take your love from me)
I, I, I, I should've told you (Told you, that)
I, I, I, I, I should've showed you (Showed you)
Time and focus but I didn't
So I hope you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Don't take your love from me)
I, I, I, I know I chose you (I know I should've told you)
That I wasn't doin' things I was supposed to
Girl, I'm beggin' you (That), please, please
(Don't take your love from me)
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

[Outro: The Manhattans]
Don't you take it from me, baby
No, no, no, no, no
(Don't take your love from me)
No-no, no-no
