I gave my love everything

I tied an old glass heart to a ring

But she put it on a shelf

And I found it didn't help anything



I gave my love all the time

I tied a worn out dress to a rhyme

But she left it at the door

And I found it on the floor every time



And I won't be making love or taking love

or faking it no more

And I won't be breaking love forsaking love

or taking it no more



I gave my love every day

I took a dead end road and made a way

But she said it wouldn't work

And I found it in reverse anyway



And I won't be making love or taking love

or faking it no more

And I won't be breaking love forsaking love

or taking it no more

And I won't be knocking on love's door anymore

Someday I'm gonna turn it around I know I know



I gave my love everything

I took a tired song and made it sing

But she put it on a shelf

And I found it didn't help anything



And I won't be making love or taking love

or faking it no more

And I won't be breaking love forsaking love

or wasting it no more

And I won't be making love or taking love

or shaking it no more

And I won't be aching love for taking love from me

Anymore
