I Can'T Take It Anymore

When I was a younger man,
I gave my love to only one.
She put his ring on her left hand;
I took my heart to walk alone.

I swore, then, always to be free;
no one to tug upon my reins.
When I felt love close in on me,
I'd bust the stall; avoid the pain.

But I can't take it anymore;
down on my knee, here on your floor.
I took my love; walked out their doors,
but I can't take it anymore.

I want to give you all my heart;
so many years, I couldn't share.
I want to give you all the love,
I took when I just couldn't care.

And if you feel you must say no,
then I will try to understand,
but I'll leave my love, my heart, my soul.
I'll have no use for them again.

'Cause I cant take it anymore;
down on my knee, here on your floor.
I took my love; walked out their doors,
but I can't take it anymore.

No, I can't take it anymore;
down in my knee, here on your floor.
I took my love; walked out their doors,
but I can't take it anymore.
