Watson, Gene - Take It From Me Lyrics

I'm not a wise man but I've learned a lot
In a fountain of knowledge I'm only a drop
But even a fool can give sound advice
It's free for the listening 'cause I paid the price

So take it from me
Don't leave her alone too many nights
Take it from me
Don't be the reason she cries
At first she'll be lonely and cry for you only
And then for the lovin' she needs
She'll find somebody new
Whose sure to take her from you
As sure as you took her from me

You might say I'm crazy to give you advice
But I've already lost her, I can't lose her twice
But, Lord, I still love her and she needs someone
Who'll do as I tell you and not as I've done

So take it from me
Don't leave her alone too many nights
Take it from me
Don't be the reason she cries
At first she'll be lonely and cry for you only
And then for the lovin' she needs
She'll find somebody new
Whose sure to take her from you
As sure as you took her from me
