Givin' herself away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Thought you'd found the perfect love this time
All she had to do is step in line
Settle down and love you forever
Takin' whatever she is able to find
Thought you could sweep her off her feet
You'd be more than she thought a man could be
Instead she's got you chasin' around
Breakin' down and takin' a back seat
Guess you thought that she was easy
Just because she loved so freely
But she ain't sellin' nothing cheap
Don't care if the price is steep
She ain't givin' herself away
Givin' herself away
Givin' herself away to you
She'll never change but I can still hear you say
"I know she's gonna come around some day"
She would sooner leave you than love you
And never even listen to what you say
It's crazy but you're wanting her more
Than any lover you have ever had before
Now she's got you hangin' around
Breakin' down and waitin' outside her door
Guess you thought that she was easy
Just because she loved so freely
But she ain't sellin' nothing cheap
Don't care if the price is steep
She ain't givin' herself away
Givin' herself away
Givin' herself away to you
Guess you thought that she was easy
Just because she loved so freely
But she ain't sellin' nothing cheap
Don't care if the price is steep
She ain't givin' herself away
Givin' herself away
Givin' herself away
Givin' herself away
Givin' herself away to you
