Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's a giver, he'll give her
The kind of attention that she's never known
He's a teacher, he'll teach her
To open the doors that she can't on her own
He'll love her, and he'll love her
In the ways that she never has been loved before
He's a getter, and he'll get her
By gettin' her into a world she's been hungryin' for
[Verse 2]
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 her feet, but he won't talk for long
'Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her
The way that I've never
But damned if you won't do her wrong
[Verse 3]
'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 an leave her
Takin' all of her pride as he goes
[Verse 4]
Yes, 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
