Keep on lovin' me honey, keep on lovin' me true
Baby, I'm gonna love you no matter what you do
Just so long as I can have it all, nothin' but you

So don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
'Cause I would stop right where I stand
I've just been afraid of a man

Don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
'Cause if you leave you might as well
Take the air I breathe

Keep on lovin' me honey, don't you go nowhere
Don't you know I'm satisfied with your tender care?
And I get my inspiration, darlin', just knowin' you're there

So don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
'Cause like a leaf out on a tree
You've become a part of me

Don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
'Cause if you leave you might as well
Take the air I breathe

Would you take the heavens out of the sky
Imagine what the world would be like
If the rivers ran dry

Oh, Tammi
What good am I without you
I can't do without you, darlin'
Like a sea without a shore
Kicking forever more

Keep on lovin' me honey, don't you change your mind
Sugar, I can't bear the thought of ever leavin' you behind
No matter what I do, another you, I'll never find

So don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
'Cause I would stop right where I stand
I've been afraid of a man

Don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
'Cause if you leave you might as well
Take the air I breathe

If you leave you might as well
Take the air I breathe
Don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me

'Cause I need your love
I need it so desperately
Don't you take your love
Don't take it away from me
