Artist/Band: Dolly Parton
Lyrics for Song: The Giving And The Taking
Lyrics for Album: Country Legends [2005]



(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)



I gave all the 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 breakin'

I keep on a' givin' and I took all the takin'.



I always gave you everything that I knew how to give

You always took advantage of me, you knew I would forgive

I treated you too good for my own good now I'm alone and left forsaken

I gave all the givin' and took all the takin'.



The giving and the takin' have caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take.



--- Instrumental ---



The giving and the takin' have caused my heart to break

I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take...
