Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
The love we share keeps us together
And everyday it grows a little more
If I ever lost this heaven, boy
I would lose all the things
That I've been living for, sweet, baby
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
You're such sweet anticipation
A love fulfillment of my every need
Every day's a lover's vacation, yeah
I don't want to wake up
From this wonderful dream, no, no
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
Don't you ever take your love away
Don't you ever take your love away
No, baby
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
I don't want the pain
Rainy days or sunny weather
It doesn't matter as long as I got you
Oh, lover, let's stay together
'Cause I don't want to lose this groove
That we're into, no
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than the roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain...
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
The love we share keeps us together
And everyday it grows a little more
If I ever lost this heaven, boy
I would lose all the things
That I've been living for, sweet, baby
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
You're such sweet anticipation
A love fulfillment of my every need
Every day's a lover's vacation, yeah
I don't want to wake up
From this wonderful dream, no, no
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
And I couldn't stand the pain
Don't you ever take your love away
Don't you ever take your love away
No, baby
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your lovin' more
Than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart
