The Giving And The Taking - Dolly Parton

Written by：B. Owens/D. Parton

I keep on a giving

And I took all the taking

I gave all my love to you

And I took all your hurt

I treated you so good

But you treated me like dirt

They say love is give and take

Now my poor heart is breaking

I keep on a giving

And I took all the taking

I always gave you everything

That I knew how to give

You always took advantage of me

You knew I would for you

I treated you too good for my own good

Now I'm along and left forsaken

I keep on a giving

And I took all the taking

The giving and the taking

Has caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give

And I taken all that I can take

The giving and the taking

Has caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give

And I have taking all that I can take
