Lyrics

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, he'll love her In ways that she never has been loved before And he's a getter, he'll get her By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for 'Cause 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 That she gives him, he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her Takin' all of her pride as he goes Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ... He's a charmer, and he'll charm her With money and manners that I never learned He's a leader, and he'll lead her Across pretty bridges he's planning 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 never And damned if he won't do her wrong 'Cause 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 That she gives him, he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her Takin' all of her pride as he goes Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ...
