Give and take
that's how the wheel turns
Build and break
handshakes and heartburns
Give what you got
and don't give in
to hurt babe
Give and take
swing for the fences
Take your place
spare no expenses
Get what you want
by digging in the dirt babe
And all the detours
that I take make up
the winding way
The bumpy road
to what I know
and what I am today
And all the prices
that I've paid the scars
of love and hate
It's just a case
of give and take
we get our cards to play
You give and you take
a twist or a shake
Everything depends
upon your answer babe
Here I stand
can't do no other
Win or lose
just cannot bother
Flash in the pan
we're here now
gone tomorrow
Give and take
that's not conviction
Live and love
make no distinction
Give and you get
and don't look back
in sorrow
And all the places
that I've stayed to be
what I am today
Have gone away
and that's okay
that's more
than some could say
And all the prices
that I'll pay the scars
of love and hate
It's just a case
of give and take
we get our cards to play
Love is a flame
calling your name
Everything depends
upon your answer babe
Oh give it all
Oh give it away
Don't leave me alone
Take your place
You give and you take
this life begins today
Oh take my hand
Oh yeah
