Taking What I Can Get

It's a crime the way you treat me

Night time's the only time you meet me

And hotel rooms with shades pulled down

Morning comes and you're never around

And it's a sin the way I love you

But my friend, I can't rise above you

Lord knows it's killing me

But that's the way it's gotta be

And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me

(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name

(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do

Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains

But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game

Your daughter's only three, too young to know 'bout you and me

Ah her mama needs you, too, just the way I need you

And love, I should not complain

For I'm just as much to blame

I've known all along, what we've been doing's wrong

And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me

(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name

(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do

Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains

But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game

And as the wheels of love keep turning

Higher the fire is burning

I'm bitter, Lord, but your love's so sweet

I know we're heading down a one way street

And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me

(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name

(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do

Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains

But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game
