When I spoke what was on my mind 

I wasn't thinking of your heart 

I wasn't thinking bout the things I said 

That landed us so far apart 

And now my world is ending baby

With a chance remark 

No, you can't take love for granted



You look at me with your wounded eyes 

And I look back with fear 

There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin' 

Now it's just not here 

And the door was slammed hours ago 

But it's still ringing in my ears 

No, you can't take love for granted



It was a funny way to show I love you 

A funny way to care 

It's a funny thing to be without you 

As empty as your stare 



You can't take love for granted 

It's got its own free will 

It's got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby 

And looks that can kill 

One day you're in heaven darling 

The next you feel like hell 

No, you can't take love for granted



You can speak what's on your mind 

If you've got a gambler's heart 

You can be the truth incarnate 

You can shoot straight in the dark 

You can pull the moon down baby 

With a lasso made of stars 

But no, you can't take love for granted

No, you can't take love for granted no 

Baby, don't take love for granted
