I remember long ago when I'd be set outside to play It seemed some kids would always come around and take my favorite toys away People are always taking things away from me I just can't understand it why they won't let me be It seems I never get to keep the things that I've always loved the best People couldn't stand to see somebody sind a little share of happiness People are always taking things... But then you came along and made your love to me and it made up for all the past And I thought that I'd found something I could get to keep at last But here I am again with nothing left but this broken heart I own Someone came along and took away your love the sweetest thing I've ever known People are always taking things away from me And now they're even taking your sweet love away People are always taking things away from me
