Don't be so cruel hurting yourself
Don't be so greedy making it bad
Don't be so dark echoing out
Don't spend the day waiting for me

After all you didn't have to do it
You broke your own heart; it hurt you so bad
Why don't you take your defense down a little
Or you won't understand at all

Don't go, don't go let it
Don't go, don't go let it
Don't take love for granted

We were supposed to be together forever
Don't take love
We were supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah
Don't take love

Don't be so sad scream at the moon
Don't let your words come out too soon
You beat yourself up
So don't spend a day, hey, waiting for me
I can see you had to be your own father
I know he walked out on you
Hey, but that's in the past
You see you don't have a leg to stand on
You're just fooling yourself again

Don't go take it out
Don't go let it
Don't go take it out
Don't go let it
Don't take love
We were supposed to be friends forever, yeah yeah
Don't go take it out
Don't go let it in
We were supposed to be friends forever, yeah yeah
Don't go take it out
We were supposed to be friends forever

So he booked himself a trip, extended holiday
None of this always working late
The porter took him to his room; he headed for the bar
To get another drink
She got a phone call saying her love had ran away
Just another phone call, another bad day
She packed her keys got out of town
Stole her best friend's car
Promised she would bring it back
That's what friends are for

Hey do me a favor call me sometime
Do a good deed
Don't waste a minute waiting for me
Don't take love, take take take it in
For granted, take take take it out
Don't go, don't go let it in
We were supposed to be together forever, forever.
Don't take love, take take take it in
For granted, take take take it out
Don't take love, take take take it in
For granted, take take take it out
We were supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah
Don't take love for granted
Don't take love for granted
We were supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah
Don't go take it out
Don't go let it in
