give and take
You’re talking me down, so deep
Feels like I’m in eternal sleep.
Your gonna be filled with regret
Your gonna have to eat the whole alphabet.
I said it was all a mistake.
There was nothing that I wanted to take.
I couldn’t hurt you even if I try.
Fact is I’d rather die.
There was nothing to that story.
How many times must I say, “Don’t worry.”
There is give and there is take.
The devil does both for heaven’s sake.
Ain’t like you to come unglued.
A rumor of misdeed may not be true.
I didn’t cross the street to hide.
I crossed to get to the other side.
Some rumors hold water.
Some just seem like they oughta.
Someone’s got an over active mind
Hooked to their venetian blind.
You threw me out on my ear
Said, “I can’t tolerate you near.”
I thought I knew you better than that.
I know you like a dog better than a cat.
I’m feeling a little maligned.
Tell me if I am misreading signs.
There is give and there is take.
The devil does both for heaven’s sake.
Well maybe I was trying to hide.
And street crossing was my alibi.
I’m starting to get confused.
“Heads I win, tails you lose.”
I seem to be handing out abuse.
Don’t say, “What’s the use”.
Okay, so I was caught red-handed.
Please don’t leave me stranded,
I’m sure we can work this out.
How about we go fishing for trout?
We did so many times before.
I’m sure we can do it one more.
There is give and there is take.
The devil does both for heaven’s sake.
I was kidding when I said
You’d eat the whole alphabet.
Numbers are tasty and there’s more of them.
Our duet outshines the brightest gem.
I can see you’re starting to smile.
Does that mean I can stay a while?
I can see you’re starting to laugh.
Our whole always beats two halves.
There is give and there is take.
The devil does both for heaven’s sake.
