This was written by songwriting team of Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter. They wrote hits for various artists, including Glen Campbell, the Four Tops, and Dusty Springfield. This was Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds' third single and first Top 40 hit. Their two previous singles failed to reach the Top 40 and received very little radio play. >> Rob Grill of The Grass Roots explained at a concert that this song was intended for his band, but they were about to release another single. So Potter and Lambert crafted "Two Divided by Love" for The Grass Roots, which sounds somewhat similar to this song. The Grass Roots perform "Don't Pull Your Love (Out)" in concert, since it was supposed to be their song. >>
Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird, Gonna fly right out of here without a single word But you know you'll break my heart when I watch you close that door Cause I know I won't see you anymore Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears Haven't I been good to you, what about that brand new ring? Doesn't that mean love to you, doesn't that mean anything? If I threw away my pride and I got down on my knees, Would you make me beg you "pretty please"? Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears There's so much I want to do I've got love enough for two And I'll never use it, girl, if I don't have you
