Lyrics

Verse:
When we said our wedding vows back in '08
I knew there'd be some give and take
You gotta put love first
Sometimes you gotta bend a little
Share everything right down the middle
So we split up the work

Chorus:
I did the giving, she did the taking
She spent every dime I was making 
Living high on the hog while I brought home the bacon
I did the giving, she did the taking

Verse:
When she ran up the credit cards it didn't take long
For her to lawyer up and be long gone
Like a bat outta heck
She took the house, she took the truck
She took my dog and what really sucks
Is I still send her checks

Chorus:
I did the giving, she did the taking
She spent every dime I was making 
Living high on the hog while I brought home the bacon
I did the giving, she did the taking

Bridge:
I'd give my right arm to go back to when we met
But she'd just use it to pick my pockets and take what little I have left

Chorus:
I did the giving, she did the taking
She spent every dime I was making 
Living high on the hog while I brought home the bacon
I did the giving, she did the taking

Tag:
We said for better or worse
I got the second one she took the first
Yeah, I did the giving she did the taking
