Lee, Brenda - Taking What I Can Get Lyrics
It's a crime the way you treat me
Night time's the only time you meet me
And hotel rooms with shades pulled down
Morning comes and you're never around
And it's a sin the way I love you
Lord knows it's killing me
But that's the way it's gotta be
And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me
(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name
(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do
Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains
But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game
Your daughter's only three, too young to know 'bout you and me
And love, I should not complain
For I'm just as much to blame
I've known all along, what we've been doing's wrong
And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me
(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name
(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do
Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains
But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game
And as the wheels of love keep turning
Higher the fire is burning
I'm bitter, Lord, but your love's so sweet
I know we're heading down a one way street
And I keep taking what I can get, regretting the day we me
(Just) Letting you do your thing, in love's name
(And) I keep holding on to you, there's nothing left for me to do
Guess I should find somebody new, and break these chains
But I'm caught in the wheels, of love's cheating game

Lee, Brenda Taking What I Can Get Comments
Like this song. Glad to finally find it.
Peaked at 41 on the Billboard top 100 in for 9 weeks
I saw Brenda perform this on Hee Haw and really liked it. Nice to see it here.
I am SO GLAD to find this song on here! It's not on iTunes and isn't on any collections of Brenda's songs that I can find. I remember it when it was out and loved it! Another one I wish I could find is "Find Yourself Another Puppet."
