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...
