Don't Take It Away
Redemption in Melody: Conway Twitty's Apology Anthem
Lyrics
I been lookin' for you all night long, darlin'
I've been searching for you all night, my dear.
You've got to talk to me
You need to communicate with me.
I wanna tell you how wrong I've been
I want to confess how wrong I've been.
And I won't do it again
I acknowledge my mistake and promise not to repeat it.
You know that woman didn't mean a thing to me
The other woman meant nothing to me.
I hope, I don't embarrass you too much
I hope not to embarrass you in front of your friends.
Here in front of all your friends
Expressing remorse publicly.
I'm gonna get down on my knees
I'm willing to humble myself and apologize.
Please, let me make it
Pleading for a chance to make amends.
Please, I can't give you up
Emphasizing the difficulty of giving up on the relationship.
'Cause you made love
Recalling the positive experiences of lovemaking.
So good for me so long
Your love has been satisfying for a long time.
Don't take it away
Pleading not to end the relationship.
'Cause love don't come easy
Love is not easily found or replaced.
Darlin', I'm sorry
Apologizing for crossing a boundary.
I stepped over the line
Acknowledging a mistake of stepping over a line.
Don't take it away
Pleading not to end the relationship.
Don't make me go crazy
Fearing the possibility of going crazy without the relationship.
'Cause I would follow you
Expressing a willingness to follow the partner anywhere.
To the ends of my mind
Commitment to staying devoted.
From now on
Committing to be a supportive and dependable partner.
I'm gonna be the kind of man
A promise to be reliable in challenging times.
That you can lean on
Commitment to be a reliable support.
And when the waters of life
Commitment to navigating life's challenges together.
Get a little too rough or a little too deep
Willingness to be a support in difficult situations.
I'm gonna be your steppin' stone
Commitment to being a stable support in rough times.
And oh, I remember all those nights
Recollection of past intimate moments.
That you used to take right a hold of me
Expressing the partner's grip and connection.
And you'd hold on
Highlighting the enduring nature of the connection.
Please, let me make it
Pleading for another chance to make things right.
Please, I can't give you up
Emphasizing the difficulty of letting go.
'Cause you've made love
Recalling the positive impact of love.
So good for me so long
Expressing the enduring satisfaction of the relationship.
Don't take it away
Pleading not to end the relationship.
'Cause love don't come easy
Reiterating the challenges of finding true love.
Darlin', I'm sorry
Apologizing for the transgression.
I stepped over the line
Acknowledging crossing a line and expressing remorse.
Don't take it away
Pleading not to end the relationship.
Don't make me go crazy
Fearing the possibility of losing sanity without the relationship.
'Cause I would follow you
Willingness to go to great lengths for the relationship.
To the ends of my mind
Expressing commitment to the relationship.
