Take It Like a Friend

[Verse 1] If maybe you'd move over Gave someone else a chance to try their luck Instead, you run up closer Trying to grab a page before they close the book [Chorus] It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you crying wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end [Verse 2] Thought you had the honor Took special pride in all your well laid plans Forgot about the others We moved out the ward the light showing empty hands [Chorus] It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you crying wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end [Bridge] Ah, put the boot down! Mm-hm! [Verse 3] Love to be the winner Gather up your chips in time to cash them in We're all looking thinner Playing cards too close for either one to win [Chorus] It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began Hope you take it like a friend It's a shame to see you crying wouldn't think to way back when Looks like I'll never hear the end [Outro] Woa oh oh oh It's a shame to see you crying Wouldn't think to way back when Hope you take it like a friend Yeah eah eah eah...
