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...
