Take It Like A Friend Lyrics - Mardi Gras - Creedence Clearwater Revival

If maybe you'd move over 

Gave someone else a chance to try their luck 

Instead, you run up closer 

Try'n to grab a page before they close the book 

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 cryin' , wouldn't think to way back when 

Looks like I'll never hear the end 

Thought you had the honor 

Took special pride in all your well laid plans 

Forgot about the others 

We moved out t'ward the light showin' empty hands 

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 cryin' , wouldn't think to way back when 

Looks like I'll never hear the end 

Ah, put the boot down! Mm hm 

Love to be the winner 

Gather up your chips in time to cash 'em in 

We're all lookin' thinner 

Playin' cards too close for either one to win 

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 cryin' , wouldn't think to way back when 

Looks like I'll never hear the end 

Woa oh oh oh 

It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when 

Hope you take it like a friend 

Yeah eah eah eah
