Waylon Jennings – The Taker lyrics
He's a giver he'll give her the kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper he'll help her to open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover and he'll love her in ways that she's never been loved before
He's a getter he'll get her by gettin' her into the world she's been hungering for
He's a charmer he'll charm her with money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader he'll lead her across pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn
He's a talker he'll talk her right off of her feet but he won't talk for long
Cause he's a doer and he'll do her
The way that I'd never damned if he won't do her wrong
He's a taker he'll take her to places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul she gives him he'll take her for granted
Take off and leave her taken all of her pride when he goes
He's a taker he'll take her...

    This song tells the story of a year l spent with a man who, in the beginning, saved me from an abusive relationship. He gave me attention and taught me how to be a real woman. I was taken in by his charming manner and good looks. He taught me how to feel like a real woman, giving me pleasure l never felt before. He also introduced me to another world that l have never wanted to be in before...drugs. l became whatever he wanted and after l have him my heart and soul he destroyed me with abusive language and strung me along until the other woman he started seeing, stalked me and stabbed me with a knife seven times. He know lives with her and l was left alone with a broken body and spirit. True story.
