The Taker

Chris Hillman The Taker by Kris Kristofferson

Shel Silverstein.

He's a giver, he'll give her

The kind of attention that she's never known

He's a teacher, he'll teach her

To open the doors that she can't on her own

He's a lover, he'll love her

in ways that she never has been loved before

And he's a getter, he'll get her

By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' 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 planning to burn

He's a talker, he'll talk her

Right of of her feet, but he won't talk for long

Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her

The way that I never

And damned if he won't do her wrong

And 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 takin' advantage

Takin' her easy and slow

And after he's taken her 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 as he goes
