Don't Take Away My Pride - Johnny Gill

As I walked over to my window

I saw love walking away

We had come to the end of a beautiful love affair

At the start of a brand-new day

And when you left, you took my sunshine

And replaced it with a cloudy day

And you took away, you took away

My reason for smiling but there’s one thing

I beg you not to take

Oh darling

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside, yeah

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside, for me

We used to spend our evenings

Making love by the fireplace

But I can see, that your love, has just faded away

Girl it’s written all over your face

Now all you left, is just, some memories

And the echoes of a sad love song

That I play again, and again

In my mind now and then

Still I don’t know just what went wrong

Oh darling

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside

Oh baby

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside, for me

Oh darling

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside, baby

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside

I’m begging

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside

Ohh baby

Don’t you take, take away my pride

Ohh that’s all I have, left inside
