(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking.
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
You always took advantage of me, you knew I would forgive
I treated you too good for my own good now I'm alone and left forsaken
I gave all the givin' and took all the takin'.
The giving and the takin' have caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take.
--- Instrumental ---
The giving and the takin' have caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take...
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking.
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
You always took advantage of me, you knew I would forgive
I treated you too good for my own good now I'm alone and left forsaken
I gave all the givin' and took all the takin'.
The giving and the takin' have caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take.
--- Instrumental ---
The giving and the takin' have caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take...
