The Imperials
Taking Your Love for Granted
I believed you, you received It
There was no prerequisite
Promised I would never, ever leave you
I did just the opposite
I was moving away
From where I know I got my start
Looked to the cross with a willing heart
You know it seemed like something I should do
It wasn't very smart

I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore
(No, no, I don't wanna do it)
I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore

Implicated as a criminal
It was no coincidence
'Cause I would just be tried
And then convicted
Living my life on the fence
I had one foot fighting hard to follow everyday
And one deliberately disobeyed
You know that when your heart is straddled
There's a painful price to pay
I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore
(No, no, I don't wanna do it)
I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore

Returning once again to where I got my start
I close my eyes and I see Your heart
Suddenly it seems like we were never far apart

I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore
(No, no, I don't wanna do it)
I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore

I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore
(No, no, I don't wanna do it)
I was taking Your love for granted
I don't wanna live like I did before
Taking Your love for granted anymore...
