Can't Take Love For Granted

When I spoke what was on my mind

I wasn't thinking of your heart

I wasn't thinking bout the things I said

That landed us so far apart

And now my world is ending baby

With a chance remark

No, you can't take love for granted

You look at me with your wounded eyes

And I look back with fear

There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin'

Now it's just not here

And the door was slammed hours ago

But it's still ringing in my ears

No, you can't take love for granted

It was a funny way to show I love you

A funny way to care

It's a funny thing to be without you

As empty as your stare

You can't take love for granted

It's got its own free will

It's got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby

And looks that can kill

One day you're in heaven darling

The next you feel like hell

No, you can't take love for granted

You can speak what's on your mind

If you've got a gambler's heart

You can be the truth incarnate

You can shoot straight in the dark

You can pull the moon down baby

With a lasso made of stars

But no, you can't take love for granted

No, you can't take love for granted no

Baby, don't take love for granted
