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

Taking My Love (And Leaving Me)

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
