She Can't Take My Love Off The Bed

(album: Soft Touch - 1982)

Thank you for making this easy for me
I needed this time to myself
Time to look over the polaroid smiles
Proudly arranged on the shelf

I can't help but wonder as I look around
How you could bring somebody new
into a house filled with old memories
Mem'ries of me loving you

I can take my cotton gown from the closet
She can hang her satin there instead
I can take this ring off of my finger
But she can't take my love off the bed

Maybe our love didn't go anywhere
But I think it's still hanging on
Here in this house in the walls in the air
I'll still be here when I'm gone

You tell me you've talked it over with her
And she doesn't mind moving in
I just don't see how somebody could love
Where somebody's love has been

I can take my cotton gown from the closet
She can hang her satin there instead
I can take this ring off of my finger
But she can't take my love off the bed

I can take this ring off of my finger
But she can't take my love off the bed
