You Take Love and Run

Sweet smooth-talking you,
sweet smooth-talking you —
you make it look easy, the damage you do.
You blow on into town,
you pick up the warm, and you put the cold down,
then you're gone, then you're gone with the gold.

'Cause you take love and run,
take love and run,
take all of the good and you leave me none.
You take love and run,
take love and run —
and I smile like a fool in the sun.

Sweet promising you,
sweet promising you —
you swear it's forever, you knew it weren't true.
You sell me the dream,
you cash in my faith like a coin at the door,
then you're back, then you're back out for more.

'Cause you take love and run,
take love and run,
take all of the good and you leave me none.
You take love and run,
take love and run —
and I smile like a fool in the sun.

I should be angry, but I shake my head,
I shake my head —
'cause I've met your kind a hundred times instead.
You don't want to mend it, you don't want it to end,
'cause there's no money in the middle,
only money in the end.

'Cause you take love and run,
take love and run,
took a whole country's good faith and you left us none.
You take love and run,
take love and run —
and the rest of us paid in the sun.

But we're done, we're done,
we see how the trick is done.
(Take love and run)
No, we're done, we're done —
no more love and run.
(Take love and run)
We're done, we're done...
no more love and run.
