Well, I said friend, don't take him, he's all I got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a-beggin' you, friend, don't take him, he's all I got
He's everything in life I'll ever need

He is life when I wanna live
He's everything to me in life that life can give
He's my water when I need to drink
He's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think

Let me tell you now, friend, don't take him, he's all I got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a-beggin' you, friend, don't take him, he's all I got
He's everything in life I'll ever need

He's my fingers when I wanna feel
He's the only thing in life to me that's really real
He is love, all the love I know
He can kiss the ground in the wintertime and make the flowers grow

Let me tell you now, friend, don't take him, he's all I got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a beggin' you, friend, don't take him, he's all I got
He's everything in life I'll ever need

Hear me talkin' now now, friend
Don't take him, he's all I got
I'm a beggin' you, friend
Don't take him, he's all I got
