I wasn't thinkin' of your heart
I wasn't thinkin' 'bout the things I said
That landed us so far apart

And now my world is ending baby
With a chance remark
Oh ho, can't take love for granted

You look at me with your wounded eyes
I'd look back in fear
There used to be such faith between us
Now, darlin', now, it's just not here

The door was slammed hours ago
Still ringin' in my ears
Oh ho, can't take love for granted

It was a funny way to show I love you
A funny way to care
It's funny now 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
Looks that can kill

One day you're in heaven darlin'
The next you feel like hell
Then 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 bring the moon down baby
With a lasso made of stars
Oh ho, can't take a lover
(Can't take a love)
No, can't take a lover
(Can't take love)
Baby, don't take love for granted

Oh ho ho, oh ho ho, ho ho

I wasn't thinkin' of your heart
I wasn't thinkin' 'bout the things I said
