The Taker

(Kris Kristofferson - Shel Silverstein) He's a giver, he'll give her the kind Of attention that she's never known He's a helper, he'll help her to open The doors that she can't on her own. He's a lover and he'll love her in ways That she's never been loved before He's a getter, he'll get her by gettin' her Into the world she's been hungerin' for. He's a charmer, he'll charm her with money And manners that I never learned He's a leader, he'll lead her across Pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn. He's a talker, he'll talk her right off of her feet But he won't talk for long 'Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her the way That I'd never, damned if he won't do her wrong. He's a taker, he'll take her to places And make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take his time before takin' advantage Takin' her easy and slow. And after he's taken the body and soul She gives him he'll take her for granted Take off and leave her taken all of her Pride when he goes. He's a taker, he'll take her to places And make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take his time before takin' advantage Takin' her easy and slow...
