The Taker - Kris Kristofferson

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

He’s a lover, he’ll love her

in ways that she never has been loved before

And he’s a getter, he’ll get her

by gettin her into the world she’s been hungerin' for

'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 the 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 …

He’s a charmer, and he’ll charm her

with money and manners that I never learned

He’s a leader, and 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 never

And 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 the 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 …
