Artist/Band: Dottie West
Lyrics for Song: Till I Can't Take It Anymore
Lyrics for Album: Dottie and Don (w Don Gibson) [RCA Victor] [1969]



(Clyde Otis - Dorian Burton)



Let's not fight it anymore

Unpack the bags close the door

I'll never leave you

Though you lied right from the start

I can't convince my foolish heart

Not to believe you.



You've got other loves strung out

And there's not the slightest doubt

That other loves have loved you before

But you do your thing so well

I'll dream of heaven and live in hell

Till I can't take it anymore.



If I had one ounce of pride

I'd stand up or step aside

But I still love you

So I'll accept the crumbs you drop

'Cause I'm a fool and I can't stop

Or rise above you.



While you're making up your mind

I'll be praying all the time

Praying that you won't be letting me go

But you do your thing so well

I'll dream of heaven and live in hell

Till I can't take it anymore.



While you're making up your mind

I'll be praying all the time

Praying that you won't be letting me go

But you do your thing so well

I'll dream of heaven and live in hell

Till I can't take it anymore...


Till I Can't Take It Anymore

Dottie West delivers a raw, emotive country performance on 'Till I Can't Take It Anymore,' recorded for her 1969 album 'Dottie and Don' with Don Gibson. As a defining voice of the Nashville Sound era, West blends traditional country storytelling with polished production, showcasing her signature ability to convey deep personal anguish through her baritone delivery. The track exemplifies her mid-to-late 1960s discography, where she frequently collaborated with Gibson on duets and solo ballads that explored themes of heartbreak and resilience. Her work during this period helped solidify her status as a leading female country artist, bridging the gap between earlier honky-tonk styles and the smoother, radio-friendly arrangements that characterized the late 60s and early 70s. This recording stands as a testament to her enduring influence on the genre.
