Take Your Love Away

(アルバム： All By Myself - 1987)

When you said to jump, I'd ask how high
Now you need to know just how hard I tried
Many nights I've spent all by myself
Since you placed my love upon the shelf

When love was here
It must have been in my mind
You've made it clear
I'm yours when you have the time
So take your love away

Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't want your love
'Cause I'm a big girl now, baby
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't need your love
Go on and take your love away

You have taught me things from Z to A
The only love I knew was the love we made
Never dreamed I'd face the world below
Baby, my trust in you was a little too strong
('Cause times have changed now)

Times now have changed
And I'm breaking out of my shell, yeah
I'd like to say
That I'm doing very well
So take your love away

Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't want your love
'Cause I'm a big girl now, baby
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't need your love
Go on and take your love
Just leave and take your love away
'Cause I'm a big girl now, baby
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't need your love
Go on and take your love

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
I'm a big girl now, baby!

There will be love
For me someday out there, yeah
But right now, baby
You gotta take your love away from me, yeah

Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't want your love
'Cause I'm a big girl now, baby
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't need your love
Go on and take your love away
(Oh-oh...)
Just leave and take your love away
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't need your love
(Oh, no)
Go on and take your love

(Go on and take your love away, yeah)
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't want your love
Baby, you can take it
'Cause I don't need your love
Just leave and take your love away
(Boy, I give you all I had, yeah...)
