[Verse 1]
If my world seemed dark and gloomy
And my life seemed not worthwhile
Would you leave me here alone, girl?
Would you leave me here to cry?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you say you idolize me
Don't leave me in dismay
Now you know my heart is dying
Yet you turn and walk away

[Chorus]
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away from me

[Verse 2]
Now I've been my own palm reader
And I've shown myself the way
Girl, you don't have no good intentions
For with a dying heart you play

[Chorus]
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away from me
[Instrumental Break]
[Harmonica Solo]

[Outro]
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away
You give me love enough to ease the pain
And then you take your love away
You give me love enough to ease the pain
