love has taken it's toll

some girls you meet seem so complete

like they don't need nothin' from you

they're out to show you they don't want to know you

when deep inside they do

well

this girl didn't want me or anyone else

she was alone

thought i'd give it a try

i was a young bull stompin' in the field

i saw red when she walked by

love has taken its toll

love has

love has taken

taken its toll

oh yeah

i had to think fast

i watched her walk past

i knew i would have my way

so i swaggered up

i mean i staggered up

but i didn't have a damn thing to say

now

two handed strategy always works well for me

so i slipped my hands around her waist

i swore it was the right move

feelin' so smooth

till she backhanded me 'cross my face

love has taken its toll

love has

love has taken

taken its toll

oh yeah

to make a long story short

she finally got caught

i had to tell her enough is enough

she said

you're just what i needed"
