But I'll never take your song away, oh baby
And my tears fell like a river
Please don't change the chorus and put in another man's name
But lovers either stay or break your heart, oh, you just fall apart
Oh, no one could sing that way if they didn't mean just what they say
Friends may come and friends may go
Please don't take my song away, oh baby
Sang, "Oh baby, I love you, I was such a fool not to stay
We may never see each other again
Sittin' here in my lonely room with the radio on one afternoon
Please don't take my song away
I'll never take your song away, oh baby
You just sang my poor heart away
It's so beautiful, let me keep it for myself
I heard a voice that made me shiver
Then you looked right into my eyes
I thought I could take it or leave it but I can't hardly believe it
And a voice that could make the devil cry
Please don't play my song for somebody else
And I begged you, baby, as you walked out the door
But nobody ever sang a song about me before
