she’s a giver when she carves me up and leaves me hollow
she’s a taker when she feeds me more than i can swallow
she’s a taker then
balancing unequal sides
she’s a giver taker
making mine yours and yours mine
she’s a taker giver
and i think i’m gonna lose my mind
if i give it to her
and i still quite can’t decide
if she’s one or other
if she’s a giver or taker

she’s a giver when she strips away my inner needs
she’s a giver then
she’s a taker when she puts it all in deep freeze
she’s a taker then
equalizing left and right
she’s a giver taker
all according to design
she’s a taker giver
and i think i’m gonna lose my mind
if i give it to her
and i still quite can’t decide
if she’s one or the other
if she’s a giver or taker

she’s a giver and a taker
she’s a calmer and a quaker
she’s a sleeper and a waker
she destroys what she makes
and she gives back what she takes
