You Don’t Have to Take This from Me

I get the feeling that I've lost your attention
I get the message when I meet your eye
Darlin', I'm not built for indifference
Don't you press your luck with a lie
You tell me that you're taking your time
That you've been taking in some therapy
While you're on the take, bear in mind
You don't have to take this from me

Baby, you don't have to take this from me
Faithful love like a river, strong and deep
It's not what you're looking for
Don't struggle with it anymore
You don't have to take this
You don't havе to take this
You don't have to take this from mе

I took a chance on you in the first place
Well, I knew what you were all about
But I believed a little patience and a lot of space
Would undo the fear and doubt
But there are those that are not fit for commitment
Though they swear their love on bended knee
And there are those of us that think we can fix them
But you don't have to take that from me

Baby, you don't have to take this from me
Faithful love like a river, strong and deep
It's not what you're looking for
Don't struggle with it anymore
You don't have to take this
You don't have to take this
You don't have to take this from me

You don't have to take a love
That's strong and stable
You don't have to take a woman
With her cards on the table
You don't have to be real
You don't have to be true
And there won't be anyone
For you to answer to

You don't have to take this from me
Faithful love like a river, strong and deep
It's not what you're looking for
Don't struggle with it anymore
You don't have to take this
You don't have to take this
You don't have to take this from me
