(Kris Kristofferson - Shel Silverstein)

He's a giver
He'll give her yhe kind of attention that she's never known
He's a teacher
He'll teach her to opne 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
He's a getter
He'll get her by gettin' her into a world she's been hungerin' for.

He's a charmer
He'll charm her with money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader
He'll lead her to cross pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn.

He's a talker
He'll talk her right off of her feet but he won't talk for long
'Cause he's a doer
He'll do her in ways that I'd never, damned if he won't do 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 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.

Yes, 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 granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
Takin' all of her pride as he goes.
