She's All I Got, Johnny Paycheck, 1971

Well I said,
Friend, don't take her, she's all I've got.
Please don't take her love away from me.
I'm beggin' you,
Friend, don't take her, she's all I've got.
She's everything in life I'll ever need.

She is life when I want to live.
She's everything to me in life that life can give.
She's my water when I need a drink.
She's the first thought in my mind,
Each time I try to think.

Let me tell you now
Friend, don't take her, she's all I've got.
Please don't take her love away from me.
I'm beggin' you,
Friend, don't take her, she's all I've got.
She's everything in life I'm a' ever gonna need.

She's my fingers when I want to feel.
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real.
She is love; she's all of the love I know.
She could kiss the ground in wintertime,
And make a flower grow.

Let me tell you now:
Friend, don't take her, she's all I've got.
Please don't take her love away from me.
I'm beggin' you,
Friend, don't take her, she's all I've got.
She's everything in life I'm a' ever gonna need.

Hear me talkin' now:
Friend, don't take her she's all I've got.

I'm a' beggin' you, friend
Friend, don't take her she's all I've got.
