You Can't Take Love For Granted

You Can't Take Love For Granted - Graham Parker

Took her to a party and danced with the host

Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost

Took her to a movie and looked at another screen

Paid for entertainment she'd already seen

I get so hungry I'm eating my heart out

Oooh I felt it go empty I'm wondering what I can be thinking about

But you can't take love for granted underneath another skin

Can't take love for granted up behind another grin

Demonstrated passion in a grip hard to shake

Took up every fashion till everything went fake

Pulled a coat over her shoulder cracked a joke over and over

Watch the rain turn the night colder stared into the headlight beam

I get so wired I'm making all the wrong connections

And I get so tired I'm picking up bad affections

Can't take love for granted underneath another skin

Can't take love for granted up behind another grin

Watch the swans out on the lake circle circle circle circle circle

Talk and talk and talk around it circle circle

But you can't take love for granted underneath another skin

Can't take love for granted up behind another grin

But you can't take love can't take love for granted underneath another skin

Can't take love can't take love up behind another grin
