i've given 'bout all i can take

i burned all the letters that you never wrote

i broke all the promises you never spoke

i swallowed my pride

till i thought i would choke

given 'bout all i can take

i've given 'bout all i can take

you want somebody

guess

we all do

you've got a heart

that won't let it come true

and i never was one to fake

given 'bout all i can take

i've given 'bout all i can take

i cried over milk that never was spilled

and i've danced to waltzes

and you just stood still

time is much too precious to kill

given 'bout all i can take

i've given 'bout all i can take

you want somebody

guess

we all do

you've got a heart

that won't let it come true

and i never was one to fake

given 'bout all i can take

i've given 'bout all i can take

oh

i've given 'bout all i can take
