Miss Leslie Some Things They Can't Take Away Lyrics Miss Leslie lyrics

You've been looking for work now for such a long time
Once again, they cut off the telephone line
What you had for supper was the same yesterday
The landlord keeps knockin and there's no way to pay.

I've noticed that you haven't laughed in awhile.
You've done some hard time that's taken your smile.
It's just getting harder to get through the day
But some things they can't take away.

Hold on to the little that's left of your pride
Keep it close to you – deep down inside
And remember there's one who will love you always
Some things they can't take away.

You imagined that you'd find a better life here
Couldn't get no worse – this must be your year

If you could only break even, then you'd be okay
But you're back to begging – you'd do anything.

Everyone wants their money – they don't understand.
They can't see you doin the best that you can.
But don't even listen to whatever they say,
Cause some things they can't take away.

They can't take the good things you've done in your life
The rain or the sunshine or the silvery moonlight
And no matter what happens I'll love you always
Cause some things they can't take away
Some things they can't take away.
