D He's a giver, he'll give her A The kind of attention that she's never known A He's a teacher, he'll teach her D To open the doors that she can't on her own D He's a lover, he'll love her G in ways that she never has been loved before A And he's a getter, he'll get her D By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for D He's a charmer, and he'll charm her A With money and manners that I never learned He's a leader, and he'll lead her D Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn D He's a talker, he'll talk her G Right of of her feet, but he won't talk for long A Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her The way that I never D And damned if he won't do her wrong G And he's a taker, he'll take her A To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take his time before takin' advantage D Takin' her easy and slow G And after he's taken her body and soul A That she gives him, he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her D Takin' all of her pride as he goes >From Chris Hillman "Morning Sky" Sugar Hill Records 1982 Evil Eye Music(BMI)
