Kris Kristofferson
The Taker
[Intro]
He's a giver, he'll give her the kind
Of attention that she's never known
He's a helper, he'll help her to open
The doors that she can't on her own

[Verse 1]
He's a lover and he'll love her in ways
That she's never been loved before
He's a getter, he'll get her by getting her
Into the world she's been hungering 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 across
Pretty bridges he's planning 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, and he'll do her the way
That I'd never, damned if he won't do her wrong

[Chorus]
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 taking advantage
Taking her easy and slow
[Verse 2]
And after he's taken the body and soul
She gives him he'll take her for granted
Take off and leave her taken all of her
Pride when he goes

[Chorus]
