BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
I'VE BEEN LIVING FOR TEN LONG YEARS
SEARCHING FOR A RHYTHM IN BLUE
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD SEE STRAIGHT BABY
UNTIL I SET MY EYES ON YOU
CHORUS
ALL I WANT IS A TASTE OF YOUR FORBIDDEN FRUIT
ALL I WANT IS A DRINK FROM YOUR FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
BEEN LOOKING AT YOU EVERYDAY DAY
STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M BIG BROTHER
BABY IF YOU ONLY KNEW
DOESN'T SEEM THAT LONG AGO - YOU WERE STILL IN SCHOOL
YOU USED TO WALK BY, YOU'D SAY HI - I NEVER NOTICED YOU
CHORUS
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT
IF I TOLD YOU WHAT I FELT I WONDER WHAT YOU'D DO
DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU BABY
JUST WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOUR GIVING
BABY DON'T YOU TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU GOT

WELL THERE'S A LADY WHO LIVES UPSTAIRS FROM ME
KEEPS HER TV ON TO LOUD
AND AT NIGHT WHEN SHE GOES TO SLEEP
ALL THE CATS THEY DANCE AROUND
WELL THEY REALLY MUST HAVE A ROCKING JOINT
CAUSE' YOU CAN HEAR THEM SING ALONG
THE MUSIC GOES ON ALL NIGHT LONG
AND SOME TIMES STRAIGHT ON TILL DAWN
CHORUS
AND IT'S A COOL - COOL CAT PARTY
GOING OVER MY HEAD
WELL THERE'S A BIG CAT THERE NAMED MONSTER MAN
AND HIS JOBS TO GREET THE GUESTS
HE CHASES ALL THE MICE AWAY
AND HE EATS UP ALL THE REST
WELL THERE'S A KITTY THERE NAMED SASSY
AND SHE MAKES A KILLER SOUND
YOU SHOULD HEAR HERE SCREAM LIKE A MEAN OLD QUEEN
WHEN SHE BLOWS THAT FUNK AROUND
WELL I FINALLY THREW MY BATHROBE ON,
AND I WENT AND RAN UPSTAIRS
I SAID "HEY MONSTER, WOULD YOU LET ME IN" ?
HE SAID " I CAN'T CAUSE' YOU'RE A SQUARE".
WELL YOU BETTER NOT SAY THAT TWICE TO ME MAN
CAUSE I'M A TIJUANA DOG
SAW MY GUITAR - THREW THE DOOR AJAR,
SAID "I KNEW IT ALL ALONG".
