Lyrics

He's a giver and he'll give her the kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper and he'll help her to open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover and he'll love her in ways that she never has been loved before
He's a getter and he'll get her by gettin' her into the world she's been hungering for

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 plannin' to burn
He's a talker and 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 like I never did and he'll take right and 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 of 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 taken all of her pride when he goes
Then he'll take off and leave her taken all of her pride when he goes
