(Verse 1)

Listen,
whenever you’re so close it brings back those memories
the way it shoulda been
the simplest time in my life but u weren’t meant for me
tears come rapidly
and though u tell me u love me
I can’t imagine u as part
of my day
the way my life keeps on changing
u need attention I can’t do
it ur way
I gotta go

(Chorus)
If I take away love
If I take away all your love
If I take away love
If I get If I get If I get
If I get up and leave (Ooh baby)
would that be enough
would that be enough for you

(Verse 2)

We said we’d let it go take some time to get over us
but that jus aint enough – no
Still wanna come around hoping I can make some time
Messing with my mind

You want this love I cant give ya
No between the sheets boy
I made this Bed
Try as u may I ain’t trippin
Sex is over I‘d rather sleep
instead
boy I gotta go

(Chorus)
If I take away love
If I take away all your love
If I take away love
If I get If I get If I get
If I get up and leave (Ooh)
would that be enough
would that be enough for you

Estelle:
Nah it ain’t enough listen
U got me Up all night up all day
Tryna figure out what I gotta to say
I can tell u this the hard or the easy way
Tryna tell u that I don’t really want babe
I don’t need the stress or need the drama
U cud Save the bullshit for ur mumma
I now it hard to deal but listen it’s the truth
What u rather dis or me straight lying to u
See now we gotta work on ur acceptance dear
Listen u shud just accept dis here
I move on
Took away love I took away you
now I took away us yo

(Chorus)
If I take away love
If I take away all your love
If I take away love
If I get If I get If I get
If I get up and leave
would that be enough
would that be enough for you

This track is another example of a great “riding in the car” type of song.  The production is very smooth and LeToya’s vocals and lyrics complement the track really well.  Estelle sings the background vocals on this song and offers a rap toward the end of it.  This song opens with a dialogue between LeToya and Estelle, which sets the tone of the record.  Apparently LeToya is in a relationship with a guy who she is trying to let down easily.  He is desperately clinging to a relationship that is clearly over. LeToya is trying spare his feelings, but instead she is forced to completely remove her love, in order for him to get the point.

I can appreciate her trying to let him down softly, but as often is the case (as in this case for example) some people just can’t take the hint; “You want this love, I can’t give ya, no between the sheets boy I made this bed; try as you may I ain’t trippin’ sex is over I’d rather sleep, instead….boy I got to go.” The song makes it clear that LeToya has stepped her ad-lib game way up.  The ad-libs on this song are very soulful, and at one point she even gives us a Fantasia-like growl. You better sang girl!

Singswell’s rating: I give this a 4/5

LNN Team’s rating: 3.5/5
