<b>The Taker</b> by <i>Marty Robbins</i><br />e's a giver and he'll give her the kind

Of attention that she's never known

He's a helper and 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 never has been loved before

He's a getter and he'll get her by gettin'

Her into the world she's been hungryin' for

He's a charmer and he'll charm her with

Money and manners that I never learned

He's a leader and he'll lead her across

Pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn

He's a talker and 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 like I never did

And he'll take pride in doin' her wrong

'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 taking advantage of,

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 when he goes

Then he'll take off and leave her

Takin' all of her pride when he goes
