[Intro]

Don't take love for granted

[Verse 1]

Don't be so cruel hurting yourself

Don't be so greedy making it bad

Don't be so dark echoing out

Don't spend the day waiting for me

After all you didn't have to do it

You broke your own heart; it hurt you so bad

Why don't you take your defense down a little

Or you won't understand at all

[Chorus]

Don't go, don't go let it in

Don't go, don't go let it in

Don't take love (Don't go, don't go let it in)

We were supposed to be together forever {For granted}

Don't take love (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

(Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

We are supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah

Don't take love (Don't, go)

[Verse 2]

Don't be so sad scream at the moon

Don't let your words come out too soon

You beat yourself up

So don't spend a day, hey, waiting for me

I can see you had to be your own father

I know he walked out on you

Hey, but that's in the past

You see you don't have a leg to stand on

You're just fooling yourself again

[Chorus]

(Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

(Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

Don't take love

We were supposed to be friends forever, yeah yeah {For granted}

Don't take love (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

(Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

We were supposed to be friends forever, yeah yeah

Don't take love (Don't go take it out, don't go)

We were supposed to be friends forever

[Bridge]

So he booked himself a trip, extended holiday

None of this always working late (Ahh-ahh)

The porter took him to his room; he headed for the bar

To get another drink (Ahh-ahh)

She got a phone call saying her love had ran away (Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh)

Just another phone call, another bad day (Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh)

She packed her keys got out of town

Stole her best friend's car

Promised she would bring it back

That's what friends are for

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Hey do me a favor call me sometime

Do a good deed

Don't waste a minute waiting for me (Don't take love for granted)

Waiting for me

[Outro]

Don't go, don't go let it in

We are supposed to be together forever (together forever)

Don't take love (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

For granted (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

Don't take love

We are supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

Don't take love (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)

For granted

We are supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah

Don't take love (Don't go take it out, don't go let it in)
