Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave - Dave Mason

Shouldn’t have took more than you gave

Then we wouldn’t be in this mess today

I know we’ve all gone different ways

But the dues we have to pay are still the same

It’s time to change the script for this old play

You’re readin' and not feelin' what you say

Comin' on too strong for me to stay

Interpret what you see in any way

It seems the simple things

Are hardest to explain

Wind is gonna come too soon

And deaden all the pain

Footprints in the snow will show

Where the things are still the same

Till you get the warmer sun

Of someone else to live again

Shouldn’t have took more than you gave

Then we wouldn’t be in this mess today

I know we’ve all gone different ways

But the dues we have to pay are still the same

Shouldn’t have took more than you gave

Shouldn’t have took more than you gave

Shouldn’t have took more than you gave

Shouldn’t have took more than you gave

Keep on…
