You Can’t Take Away My Love
You can take away the hairs
From the top of my head
You can take away my butter
Along with my bread
You can make me sleep
On a prison bed
But you can’t take away my love
You can fill my brain
With a tangle of doubt
You can toy with my mind
Til I want to shout
But I’ll tell you what it is
That I’m all about –
You can’t take away my love
You can take the shirt
Right off my back
You can put my belongings
In your sack
Record all my failings
In an almanac
But you can’t take away my love
You can give me a zero
On your swanky test
You can plant a nail bomb
In my chest
But it doesn’t matter
See, I’ve been blessed
Cos you can’t take away my love
No you can’t take away my love
