Can't Take Love For Granted Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

When I spoke what was on my mind 

I wasnt thinking of your heart 

I wasnt thinking bout the things I said 

That landed us so far apart 

And now my world is ending baby 

With a chance remark 

No, you cant take love for granted 

You look at me with your wounded eyes 

And I look back with fear 

There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin' 

Now its just not here 

And the door was slammed hours ago 

But its still ringing in my ears 

No, you cant take love for granted 

It was a funny way to show I love you 

A funny way to care 

Its a funny thing to be without you 

As empty as your stare 

You cant take love for granted 

Its got its own free will 

Its got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby 

And looks that can kill 

One day youre in heaven darling 

The next you feel like hell 

No, you cant take love for granted
