jimmy ruffin - love gives, love takes away lyrics

[intro]
mmm mmm

[verse 1]
see the teardrops as they fall from my eyes
oh, see the man cry (see the man cry)

[chorus]
’cause i know, i know
that love gives, and love takes away
said a heart full of love can be so empty today

[verse 1]
listen, every man he wants to be
thought of as strong
but he needs the love, just to help him, help him along
i said, sometimes he may stumble
but always a man who stand
if he has a love of his own, give him a helping hand

[pre+chorus]
listen, but if his love goes away, oh (if your love goes away)
he’ll learn what i did on that very day (hе’ll find out it goes away)

[chorus]
he’ll know that love givеs, and love takes away
said a heart full of love can be so empty today
listen, when pain fills your heart
where once there was joy
then a full+grown man can be a small, crying boy
[verse 2]
listen, once love showed me sunshine
and guided my way
to the girl that i needed, you know i found her one happy day
then just for a moment, love made me feel good
then i stood tall and smiling, just the way a big man should

[pre+chorus]
listen, but one day i found that my girl had gone, oh baby (i found out she had gone)
and now my heart is sadder than the words that tell this song

[chorus]
it’s saying that love gives, oh yeah, and love takes away
a heart full of love can be so empty today
said when pain fills your heart
where once there was joy
then a full+grown man can be a small, crying boy

[verse 3]
listen, now all i do is wonder
i’m hoping for the day
that love will give me one more chance to come on back my way

[pre+chorus]
and now, all i do is wait, oh yeah (all i do is wait)
hoping love will find me and praying not too late
[chorus]
and knowing that love gives, it gives, it gives, yes it does (love takes away)
a heart full of love can be so empty today
said when pain (pain fills your heart)
oh, baby (where once there was joy)
then a full+grown man can be a small, crying boy

[outro]
love gave me joy (love gives)
and it took it away (love takes away)
love gave me sunshine, baby
and it darkened all of my days
and i know that love …
