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
