The Love You Take

[Intro - Spoken]
Hartman: I was talking to a friend of mine
Lopez: Ah-ha, and what'd he say?
Hartman: He says, you know a lot of people don't think but - the love you take is the love you make
Lopez: Well, you know that's true
Hartman: So somebody said once

(Whoo)

[Verse 1 - Dan Hartman]
(The love you take)
Open your heart up to business
Undress the way you feel inside
Don't you know, you're acting out the motions?
Expressing what you're missing in your life

[Pre-Chorus 1 - Dan Hartman & Denise Lopez]
No one escapes those changes
But it doesn't give the right to decide
How we should treat each other
Judgement day itself will arise

[Chorus]
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make (The love you make)
And the love you make
Is deeper than the love you take
The master faith
Will stop you if too much you take

(Oh oh)

[Verse 2 - Denise Lopez]
I tried to share a little kindness
Show you what's behind my eyes (Mm-mm)
I know the past will come and haunt the future
Can you say you never told lies?

[Pre-Chorus 2 - Dan Hartman & Denise Lopez]
The clock is ticking faster
As we move closer into the light
But there's still time to discover
What it is that makes it alright

(Whoo)

[Chorus]
(The love you take)
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make (The love you make)
And the love you make
Is deeper than the love you take (Whoo)

[Bridge]
But it's never too late
To change the things that are not right
It's never too late
For the past to haunt you in the night

Woah woah woah, you're bad, bad boy
You're a bad, bad boy, that ain't good
Woah woah woah, head under a crown
What goes up must come down

Woah woah woah (Must come down), you're bad, bad boy
You're a bad, bad boy, and that ain't good
Woah woah woah, head under a crown
What goes up must come down (Down, down, down)

[Instrumental Interlude]
(Woah woah)

[Chorus]
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make (The love you make)
And the love you make
Is deeper than the love you take

[Pre-Chorus 2 - Dan Hartman & Denise Lopez]
The clock is ticking faster
We move into the light
We will in time discover
What is that makes it right (Right)

[Chorus]
The love you take (The love you take)
Is equal to the love you make
And the love you make
Is deeper than the love you take

(Some big boy broke the law)
The love you take (Always want a guy like you)
Is equal to the love you make (Some kind of big man downtown)
And the love that you make (But what ya gonna do?)
Is deeper than the love you take ([?])
