The Imperials - Taking Your Love For Granted Lyrics

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
look to the cross with a willing heart
You know it seemed like something I should do
wasn't very smart

(Chorus)
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


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
Or deliberately disobey
You know that when your heart is straddled there's a fateful price to pay

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus
