Marti Jones - You Can't Take Love For Granted lyrics

You took her to a party and danced with the host Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost Took her to a movie and looked at another screen Paid for entertainment she'd already seen I get so hungry, I'm eating my heart out And I feel all empty and I'm wondering what I can be thinking about But you can't take love for granted, underneath another skin Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin Demonstrated pa**ion in a grip hard to shake Took up every fashion till everything went fake Pulled a coat over her shoulder, cracked a joke over and over Watch the rain turn the night colder, stared into the headlight beam I get so wired I'm making all the wrong connections And I get so tired I'm picking up bad affections But you can't take love for granted, underneath another skin Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin Can't take love for granted Can't take love for granted Can't take love for granted Can't take love for granted You can't take love for granted, underneath another skin You can't take love for granted, up behind another grin You can't take love for granted, underneath another skin Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin Can't take love for granted Can't take love for granted Can't take love for granted Can't take love for granted...
