[Verse 1]

By the strip mall cinema

Through the night I wait for ya

I've been good to you

So why'd you do this?

I gave you transcendental love

Drove you 'round and bought your drugs

Now you're acting ungrateful and foolish

[Pre-Chorus]

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna give a little?

[Chorus]

Every minute that I've got

Every penny I possess

Yes, I give it to you

What you giving back?

(Take, take, take)

Falling to my knees a lot

Working hard to get you off

Yes, I give it to you

What you giving back?

(Take, take, take)

[Post-Chorus]

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna give a little?

[Verse 2]

Did your mother raise her child

To steal then disappear a while?

You show no remorse and show no mercy

Lose my pride, lie face down

In hopes you might come around

Leave me in the Sahara, so thirsty

[Pre-Chorus]

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna give a little?

[Chorus]

Every minute that I've got

Every penny I possess

Yes, I give it to you

What you giving back?

(Take, take, take)

Falling to my knees a lot

Working hard to get you off

Yes, I give it to you

What you giving back?

(Take, take, take)

[Pre-Chorus]

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna give a little?

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna give a little?

[Chorus]

Every minute that I've got

Every penny I possess

Yes, I give it to you

What you giving back?

(Take, take, take)

Falling to my knees a lot

Working hard to get you off

Yes, I give it to you

What you giving back?

(Take, take, take)

[Outro]

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh

Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker

When you gonna give a little?

(Take, take, take)
