Took her to a party and danced with the host Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost. Took her to a movie and looked at another screen Paid for entertainment... she'd already seen.
I get so hungry I'm eating my heart out Oooh I felt it go empty I'm wondering what I can be thinking about.
[Chorus 1:] But you can't take love for granted underneath another skin. You can't take love for granted up behind another grin.
Demonstrated passion in a grip hard to shake Took up every fashion till everything went fake. Pulled a coat, over her shoulder Cracked a joke, over and over Watch a rain, turn the night colder Stared into the headlight beam.
I get so wired, I'm making all the wrong connections And I get so tired I'm.. picking up bad affections [Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:] Can't take - love for granted Can't take - love for granted Can't take - love for granted Can't take - love for granted
Watch the swans out on the lake circle circle circle (circle circle) Talk and talk and talk around it (circle circle).
