Taking My Love (And Leaving Me) - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

Maybe my heart was sold on loving you

But lately, baby, I find my heart denying you

Startin' a fire inside me, taking my love and leaving me

Breaking my heart and deceiving me

Even though you knew I loved ya, and was building my future all around ya

Baby, taking my love and leaving me (Baby, baby, baby, taking my love and

leaving me)

That’s what you’re doing to me (Baby, baby, baby, breaking my heart,

deceiving me)

Taking my love, breaking my heart

Yes you are

Now, darling

I find my world all black and blue

Lately baby

I’ve found my heart blaming you

Starting a fire inside me, taking my love and leaving me

Breaking my heart and deceiving me

Even though you knew I loved ya baby, and was building my future all around ya

Baby, that’s what you’re doing to me (Baby, baby, baby, taking my love and

leaving me)

Taking my love and breaking my heart (Baby, baby, baby)

Taking my love and leaving me baby (Breaking my heart, deceiving me)

All the things you’ve done to me, it’s plain to see

You don’t really, really love me baby

But anyway

I tired and tired in vain

I gave you everything

You showed how much you cared

Now imma be just the same

Baby, look what you’re doing to me (Baby, baby, baby, taking my love and

leaving me)

Taking my love, breaking my heart (Baby, baby, baby)

Taking my love and leaving me (Breaking my heart, deceiving me)

Gave you every bit of my love and my affections too

Then you turn around and did what I thought you’d never do

Baby, baby, that’s what you’re doing to me (Taking my love and leaving me)

Taking my love and leaving me

That’s what you’re doing to me

Don’t leave me baby

You’re breaking my heart, taking my love
