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
