(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

When I spoke what was on my mind
I wasnt thinking of your heart
I wasnt thinking bout the things I said
That landed us so far apart
And now my world is ending baby
With a chance remark
No, you cant take love for granted

You look at me with your wounded eyes
And I look back with fear
There used to be such faith between us, now, darlin'
Now its just not here
And the door was slammed hours ago
But its still ringing in my ears
No, you cant take love for granted

It was a funny way to show I love you
A funny way to care
Its a funny thing to be without you
As empty as your stare

You cant take love for granted
Its got its own free will
Its got a mind of its own when it wants one, baby
And looks that can kill
One day youre in heaven darling
The next you feel like hell
No, you cant take love for granted

You can speak whats on your mind
If youve got a gamblers heart
You can be the truth incarnate
You can shoot straight in the dark
You can pull the moon down baby
With a lasso made of stars
But no, you cant take love for granted
No, you cant take love for granted no
Baby, don't take love for granted
