Lyrics
Granted
i got a handful of answers to questions i read in your mind, you're wonderin' why it's all over, but i thinkin' i'm just wastin' my time. i know it takes two for a party, sure half of the blame is on me, like you got busy invitin' everybody - everybody but me ¤ 'cause you're takin' it all, (takin' it all) yes you're takin' it all for granted, don't wanna' take anymore , (takin' it all) you've been takin' it all for - granted, yeah granted ¤ i gave you too much of a good thing, i didn't ask much in return, maybe a "thank you" or two or just a little southern comfort when my temperature burned. i'm busy workin' my best parts off an' you hang on the phone when you're home. time's turned into years an' your tears are too late, i don't want you no more ¤ 'cause you're takin' it all, (takin' it all) yes you're takin' it all for granted, don't wanna' take anymore, (takin' it all) you've been takin' it all for granted. yes you're takin' it all, you're takin' it all for granted, don't wanna' take anymore, you've been takin' it all for - granted
