Lyrics

[Intro] I gave all the giving and I took all the taking [Verse 1] 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 gave all the giving and I took all the taking [Verse 2] 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 gave all the giving and I took all the taking [Chorus] The giving and the taking Has caused my heart to break I've given all that I can give And I've 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
