Don't Take Your Love

(Album: Working On My Karma - 2022)

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

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 slipping (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 bringing up other niggas (That)
When I ain't out here bringing 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

(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 hope you (Don't take your love from me)
Oh, oh-oh
I, I, I, I know I chose you
And I wasn't doing things I was supposed to (That)
Girl, I'm begging you, please, please
(Don't take your love from me)
Oh, oh-oh, oh

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 tripping 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 sleeping 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

(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 doing things I was supposed to
Girl, I'm begging you (That), please, please
(Don't take your love from me)
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

[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
