I keep on a' givinAnd I took all the takinI 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 breakinI keep on a' givinAnd I took all the takinI always gave you everything
That I knew how to give I would for you
I treated you too good for my own good
Now I'm along and left forsaken
I keep on a' givinAnd took all the takinThe giving and the takinHas 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 takinHas caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give
And I have takin' all that I can take
