[Intro]
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking

[Verse 1]
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 breaking
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking

[Verse 2]
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 giving and I took all the taking

[Chorus]
The giving and the taking
Has caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give
And I've taken all that I can take
The giving and the taking
Has caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give
And I have taken all that I can take
