The Giving and the Taking

I keep on a-giving

And I took all the taking

I gave all my love to you

And I took all your hurt

I treated you so good but you treated me like dirt

They say love is give and take

Now my poor heart is breaking

I keep on a-giving

And I took all the taking

I always gave you everything that I knew how to give

You always took advantage of me

You knew I would forgive

I treated you too good for my own good

Now I'm alone and left forsaken

I keep on a-giving

And I took all the taking

The giving and the taking

Has caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give

And I have taken all that I can take

The giving and the taking

Has caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give

And I have taken all that I can take
