"Don't Take Away My Pride" lyrics - 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
