Take It from Me
Love's Warning: Take it from Me
Lyrics
I'm not a wise man but I've learned a lot
I may not possess great wisdom, but I've gained experience.
In a fountain of knowledge I'm only a drop
Compared to a vast source of knowledge, I am insignificant, just a small part.
But even a fool can give sound advice
Even someone lacking wisdom can offer valuable advice.
It's free for the listening 'cause I paid the price
I can offer advice freely because I've faced the consequences and learned.
So take it from me
Listen to what I'm about to say.
Don't leave her alone too many nights
Do not leave her alone frequently.
Take it from me
Take my advice seriously.
Don't be the reason she cries
Do not cause her tears or sadness.
At first she'll be lonely and cry for you only
Initially, she'll miss you intensely.
And then for the lovin' she needs
She'll eventually crave the love and care she deserves.
She'll find somebody new
She'll eventually find someone new.
Whose sure to take her from you
This new person will likely take her away from you, just as you did to me.
As sure as you took her from me
It's almost certain that she'll leave, as you caused her departure from me.
You might say I'm crazy to give you advice
I may seem irrational for advising you.
But I've already lost her, I can't lose her twice
I've already experienced losing her, and I can't bear it again.
But, Lord, I still love her and she needs someone
Despite the pain, I still love her and want her to be with someone caring.
Who'll do as I tell you and not as I've done
Do the right things for her, not repeating my mistakes.
So take it from me
Listen closely to my advice.
Don't leave her alone too many nights
Don't neglect her by being absent too often.
Take it from me
Take my words seriously.
Don't be the reason she cries
Avoid being the cause of her pain or sorrow.
At first she'll be lonely and cry for you only
Initially, she'll long for your presence and care.
And then for the lovin' she needs
Later, she'll seek the affection she needs from someone else.
She'll find somebody new
She'll find someone new to fulfill her emotional needs.
Whose sure to take her from you
That person is likely to take her away from you, just as you took her from me.
As sure as you took her from me
It's almost certain that she'll leave, just as you caused her to leave me.
