(Dolly Parton & Bill Owens)
|
I keep on a' givin'
|
And I took all the takin'
|
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 breakin'
|
I keep on a' givin'
|
And I took all the takin'
|
I 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' givin'
|
And took all the takin'
|
The giving and the takin'
|
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 takin'
|
Has caused my heart to break
|
I've given all that I can give
|
And I have takin' all that I can take
|
