Lyrics:

Kristofferson-Silverstein

He's a giver, he'll give her
The kind of attention that she's never known
He's a teacher, he'll teach her
To open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover, he'll love her
In ways that she's never been loved before
And he's a getter, he'll get her
By gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for
He's a charmer and he'll charm her
With money and manners that I've never learned
He's a leader, and he'll lead her
Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn
He's a talker, he'll talk her
Right off of her feet, but he won't talk for long
'cause he's a doer, he'll do her
Way that I'd never and damned if he won't do her wrong
He's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him he'll take her for granted
He'll take off and leave her
Take all of her pride as he goes
Instrumental (Mandolin + Banjo)
He's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
Take all of her pride as he goes
Then he'll take off and leave her
Take all of her pride as he goes
