The Taker Lyrics by Billy Walker
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Kris Kristofferson - Shel Silverstein)

He's a giver, he'll give her
The kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper, and he'll help her
To open the doors she can't on her own.

He's a lover, and he'll love her
In ways that she's never been loved before
He's a getter, and he'll get her
By getting her into the world she's been hungering for.

'Cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before taking
Advantage taking her easy and slow.

And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave
Take all her pride as he goes.

He's a charmer, and he'll charm her
With money and manners that I never learned
He's a leade,r and he'll lead her
Cross pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn.

He's a talker and he'll talk her
Right off of her feet but he won't talk for long
'Cause he's a doer and he'll do her
The way that I never darned if he won't do her wrong.

'Cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before taking
Advantage taking her easy and slow.

And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave
Take all her pride as he goes.

'Cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before taking
Advantage taking her easy and slow.

And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave
Take all her pride as he goes...
