Taker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By the strip mall cinema
Through the night I wait for ya
I've been good to you
So why'd you do this?
I gave you transcendental love
Drove you 'round and bought your drugs
Now you're acting ungrateful and foolish
[Pre-Chorus]
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna give a little?
[Chorus]
Every minute that I've got
Every penny I possess
Yes, I give it to you
What you giving back?
(Take, take, take)
Falling to my knees a lot
Working hard to get you off
Yes, I give it to you
What you giving back?
(Take, take, take)
[Post-Chorus]
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna give a little?
[Verse 2]
Did your mother raise her child
To steal then disappear a while?
You show no remorse and show no mercy
Lose my pride, lie face down
In hopes you might come around
Leave me in the Sahara, so thirsty
[Pre-Chorus]
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna give a little?
[Chorus]
Every minute that I've got
Every penny I possess
Yes, I give it to you
What you giving back?
(Take, take, take)
Falling to my knees a lot
Working hard to get you off
Yes, I give it to you
What you giving back?
(Take, take, take)
[Pre-Chorus]
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna give a little?
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna give a little?
[Chorus]
Every minute that I've got
Every penny I possess
Yes, I give it to you
What you giving back?
(Take, take, take)
Falling to my knees a lot
Working hard to get you off
Yes, I give it to you
What you giving back?
(Take, take, take)
[Outro]
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna, gonna give a little? Oh, oh
Taker, taker, taker, taker, taker
When you gonna give a little?
(Take, take, take)

What did K.I.D say about "Taker"?
Taker is about a tumultuous relationship with a prostitute who hogged all of the drugs from me one night, ones I’d purchased, which I thought was quite rude. My whole life I’ve found myself in one-sided relationships, or in situations where my willingness to give or care wasn’t reciprocated. Taker i...
