Take It Before You Go

(album: Pure Prairie League - 1972)

I can see you smile almost every day
Looking back a while to find another way
Get your favors done thought I was the one
But you see I've just begun to look the other way

Won't you take it before you go then you won't have to let me know
What you didn't want to say
If you take it before you go then you won't have to let me know
What you really had to pay

Thinking back again... looking way back then
I can still remember when you'd open up and say
I didn't think you could... now I think you should
If you're looking half as good as you did yesterday

Won't you take it before you go then you won't have to let me know
What you didn't want to say
If you take it before you go then you won't have to let me know
What you really had to pay

Thinking back some more... I see you looking through the door
But it just ain't like before I need to learn another way
If I thought I could... don't cha know I surely would
Thought it straight to be so good... I need to find another way
To hear you say ya' didn't really like it but I think you're gonna have to

Take it before you go then you won't have to let me know
What you didn't want to say
If you take it before you go then you won't have to let me know
What you really had to pay
