Brenda Lee — Takin What I Can Get

[Verse 1: Brenda Lee] It's a crime the way you treat me Night time's the only time you meet me And hotel rooms with shades pulled down Morning comes and you're never around And it's a sin the way I love you But my friend, I can't rise above you Lord knows it's killing me But that's the way it's gotta be [Chorus: Brenda Lee, Brenda Lee & Chorus] And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we met Letting you do your thing, in love's name I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game [Verse 2: Brenda Lee] Your daughter's only three, too young to know about you and me Ah her mama needs you, too, just the way I need you And love, I should not complain For I'm just as much to blame I've known all along, what we've been doing's wrong [Chorus: Brenda Lee, Brenda Lee & Chorus] And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we met Letting you do your thing, in love's name And I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game [Bridge: Brenda Lee] As the wheels of love keep turning Higher the fire is burning I'm bitter, Lord, but your love's so sweet I know we're heading down a dead-end street [Chorus: Brenda Lee, Brenda Lee & Chorus] And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we met Just Letting you do your thing, in love's name Lord, I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game
