Can't Take Love For Granted
When I spoke what was on my mind
I wasn¡¯t thinking of your heart
I wasn¡¯t thinking bout the things I said
That landed us so far apart
And now my world is ending baby
With a chance remark
No, you can¡¯t take love for granted
You look at me with your wounded eyes
And I look back with fear
There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin'
Now it¡¯s just not here
And the door was slammed hours ago
But it¡¯s still ringing in my ears
No, you can¡¯t take love for granted
It was a funny way to show I love you
A funny way to care
It¡¯s a funny thing to be without you
As empty as your stare
You can¡¯t take love for granted
It¡¯s got its own free will
It¡¯s got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby
And looks that can kill
One day you¡¯re in heaven darling
The next you feel like hell
No, you can¡¯t take love for granted
You can speak what¡¯s on your mind
If you¡¯ve got a gambler¡¯s heart
You can be the truth incarnate
You can shoot straight in the dark
You can pull the moon down baby
With a lasso made of stars
But no, you can¡¯t take love for granted
No, you can¡¯t take love for granted no
Baby, don't take love for granted
