Took her to a party and danced with the host Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost Took her to a movie and looked at another screen Paid for entertainment she'd already seen I get so hungry, I'm eating my heart out oooh I felt it go empty I'm wondering what I can be thinking about CHORUS 1 But you can't take love for granted, underneath another skin Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin Demonstrated passion in a grip hard to shake Took up every fashion till everything went fake Pulled a coat over her shoulder, cracked a joke over and over Watch the rain turn the night colder, stared into the headlight beam I get so wired I'm making all the wrong connections And I get so tired I'm picking up bad affections REPEAT CHORUS 1 CHORUS 2 Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted, Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted, Watch the swans out on the lake, circle circle circle (circle circle) Talk and talk and talk around it (circle circle) REPEAT CHORUS 1 then CHORUS 2 then CHORUS 1 twice (fade)
