Taken

Caught my 1000 watt smile under blue bar lights out the side of your eye

Singing sweet Caroline feelin’ so alive on a dead Wednesday night

Bet it takes you back to the cigarette we split on the corner of dumb and young

Bet it takes you back to the almost so close

Not knowin’ what love was

Back to when I was givin’ you all of me

Now I’m takin’ my time ordering a tall tonic and gin

Takin’ his mind off of that work week leaning on in

Said you’d take a while to make up your heart

Now you’d give anything to go back to the start

Thought I’d be waiting ‘til you gave in

But I’m taken

I’m takin’ his hand in mine damn you look surprised that I found somebody new

When he looks at me I’m the only one he sees like I used to look at you

Are you thinkin’ back to the start in my apartment

You kissed me on the balcony

Are you feelin’ bad bout the part when

I fell hard and you kept me loyal with your maybes

 

‘Cause I’m takin’ my time ordering a tall tonic and gin

Takin’ his mind off of that work week stealing a kiss

Said you’d take a while to make up your heart

Now you’d give anything to go back to the start

Thought I’d be waitin’ ‘til ya gave in

But I’m taken

I’m taken

Don’t ask no way

You’re too late

‘Cause I’m takin’ my time-ordering-a tall, tonic and gin

That man is mine later tonight I’m leavin’ with him

He don’t take a while to make up his heart

He’s my everything and I bet that’s hard ‘cause

You thought I’d be waitin’, ‘til ya gave in

That’s your mistake, no I ain’t waitin’

I’m taken

I’m taken
