I gave my love everything
I tied an old gla** heart to a ring
But she put it on a shelf
And I found, it didn't help anything
I gave my love all the time
I tied a worn out dress to a rhyme
But she left it at the door
And I found it on the floor every time
And I won't be making love or taking love
Or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love, forsaking love
Or taking it no more
I gave my love every day
I took a dead end road and made a way
But she said it wouldn't work
And I found it in reverse, anyway
And I won't be making love or taking love
Or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
Or taking it no more
And I won't be knocking on love's door anymore
Someday I'm gonna turn it around, I know, I know
I gave my love everything
I took a tired song and made it sing
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything
And I won't be making love or taking love
Or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
Or wasting it no more
And I won't be making love or taking love
Or shaking it no more
And I won't be aching love for taking love from me
Anymore
