[Verse 1]
If maybe you'd move over
Gave someone else a chance to try their luck
Instead, you run up close
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...
