I've Given 'Bout All I Can Take

(album: Tennessee Whiskey - 1981)

I burned all the letters that you never wrote
I broke all the promises you never spoke
I swallowed my pride
Till I thought I would choke

Given 'bout all I can take
I've given 'bout all I can take

You want somebody
Guess, we all do
You've got a heart
That won't let it come true

And I never was one to fake

Given 'bout all I can take
I've given 'bout all I can take

I cried over milk that never was spilled
And I've danced to waltzes
And you just stood still
Time is much too precious to kill

Given 'bout all I can take
I've given 'bout all I can take

You want somebody
Guess, we all do
You've got a heart
That won't let it come true

And I never was one to fake

Given 'bout all I can take
I've given 'bout all I can take
Oh, I've given 'bout all I can take
