Some girls you meet seem so complete Like they don't need nothin' from you They're out to show you they don't want to know you When deep inside they do Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else She was alone, thought I'd give it a try I was a young bull stompin' in the field I saw red when she walked by Love has taken its toll, love has Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah I had to think fast, I watched her walk past I knew I would have my way So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up But I didn't have a damn thing to say Now, two handed strategy always works well for me So I slipped my hands around her waist
I swore it was the right move, feelin' so smooth Till she backhanded me 'cross my face Love has taken its toll, love has Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah To make a long story short, she finally got caught I had to tell her enough is enough She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough Love has taken its toll, love has Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah Love has taken, taken its toll, love has Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah Love has taken, taken its toll, love has Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
