Lyrics
“I’ll Just Take It Out In Love”
I gave you love when you were lonely
And I gave you strength when times were bad
I’ve been a daddy to your children
And I’ve dried your tears when you were sadBut darling you don’t need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there’s anything you owe me
Darling, I’ll just take it out in loveI’ve been your friend when you were troubled
And I’ve stood by you when things went wrong
I’ve picked you up each time you stumbled
When you were weak then I was strongBut darling, you don’t need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there’s anything you owe me
I’ll just take it out in love
Darling, I’ll just take it out in love
