(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
|
When I spoke what was on my mind
|
I wasn't thinking of your heart
|
I wasn't thinking bout the things I said
|
That landed us so far apart
|
And now my world is ending baby
|
With a chance remark
|
No, you can't take love for granted
|
|
You look at me with your wounded eyes
|
And I look back with fear
|
There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin'
|
Now it's just not here
|
And the door was slammed hours ago
|
But it's still ringing in my ears
|
No, you can't take love for granted
|
|
It was a funny way to show I love you
|
A funny way to care
|
It's a funny thing to be without you
|
As empty as your stare
|
|
You can't take love for granted
|
It's got its own free will
|
It's got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby
|
And looks that can kill
|
One day you're in heaven darling
|
The next you feel like hell
|
No, you can't take love for granted
|
|
You can speak what's on your mind
|
If you've got a gambler's heart
|
You can be the truth incarnate
|
You can shoot straight in the dark
|
You can pull the moon down baby
|
With a lasso made of stars
|
But no, you can't take love for granted
|
No, you can't take love for granted no
|
Baby, don't take love for granted
|
