Don’t Take Away My Rose Colored Glasses Lyrics by Jimmy Ruffin

The Ultimate Motown Collection

0

[Intro]
Hmm, hmm
[Chorus]
(Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses) No, no
(Let me believe in love everlasting)
Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses
[Verse 1]
If it's me you wanna have, have what you know (If you wanna help me out)
Keep it to yourself, don't enlighten me (Don't enlighten me)
'Cause it frightens me ('Cause it frightens me)
When I built my world around loving that girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Her love means much to me, oh yeah, yeah (Yeah, yеah, yeah, yeah)
Like thе blossoming of a cherry tree
Good is all I see
Don't spoil it for me
It'll be the end of me
[Chorus]
Oh, don't take away my rose-coloured glasses
Let me believe in love everlasting (Let me believe in love everlasting)
No, baby, no, no, no, no, no (Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses)
[Verse 2]
Once I went out alone
Oh, with no direction where, all my hope was gone
And she stood standing there
The pain she helped me bear
Showed me how to care
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're trying to say (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, she was using me since you ran away
Girl, I won't believe
I refuse to see
Love's just spelled by me
[Chorus]
Oh, don't take away my rose-coloured glasses
Let me believe in love everlasting (Let me believe in love everlasting)
No, baby, no, no, no, no, no (Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses)
Oh
[Bridge]
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, ooh
[Verse 3]
Oh, the cherry has grown ripe (Cherry has grown ripe)
Oh, love has blossomed into a sweet, good life
And then you come in
Saying start again
Can you be a friend?
[Chorus]
Oh, don't take away my rose-coloured glasses
Just let me believe in our love everlasting (Let me believe in love everlasting)
Don't take away, just let me see (Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses)
For I wanna see, 'cause if I lose this girl, it'll (Let me believe in love everlasting)
Be the end of me (Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses)
Oh, let me see, oh, don't spoil my scenery (Let me believe in love everlasting)
Ah (Don't take away my rose-coloured glasses)
