Shouldn’t Have Took More Than You Gave Songtext
von Dave Mason

Shouldn′t have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we′ve all got different ways
But the dues we've got to pay are still the same

Just trying to change the script for this old play
You're reading and not feelin′ what you say
Comin′ on too strong for me to stay
Interpret what you're seein′ anyway


Seems the simple things are hardest to explain
We're just gonna come too soon, gettin′ all the pain
Footprints in the snow will show whether things are still the same
'Til you get the warmth of sun or someone to help you live again

Shouldn′t have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all got different ways
But the dues we′ve got to pay, are still the same

Shouldn′t have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn′t have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave

Oh yeah, one more time
