Give and Take

When we said our wedding vows back in ’08
I knew there’d be some give and take
You gotta put love first
Sometimes you gotta bend a little
Share everything right down the middle
So we split up the work

I did the giving, she did the taking
She spent every dime I was making
Living high on the hog while I brought home the bacon
I did the giving, she did the taking

When she ran up the credit cards it didn’t take long
For her to lawyer up and be long gone
Like a bat outta heck
She took the house, she took the truck
She took my dog and what really sucks
Is I still send her checks

I did the giving, she did the taking
She spent every dime I was making
Living high on the hog while I brought home the bacon
I did the giving, she did the taking

I’d give my right arm to go back to when we met
But she’d just use it to pick my pockets and take what little I have left

I did the giving, she did the taking
She spent every dime I was making
Living high on the hog while I brought home the bacon
I did the giving, she did the taking

We said for better or worse
I got the second one she took the first
Yeah, I did the giving she did the taking
