Love Has Taken Its Toll

Foreigner

Some girls you meet seem so complete


Like they don't need nothin' from you


They're out to show you they don't want to know you


When deep inside they do





Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else


She was alone, thought I'd give it a try


I was a young bull stompin' in the field


I saw red when she walked by





Love has taken its toll, love has


Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah





I had to think fast, I watched her walk past


I knew I would have my way


So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up


But I didn't have a damn thing to say





Now, two handed strategy always works well for me


So I slipped my hands around her waist


I swore it was the right move, feelin' so smooth


Till she backhanded me 'cross my face





Love has taken its toll, love has


Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah





To make a long story short, she finally got caught


I had to tell her enough is enough


She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy


She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough





Love has taken its toll, love has


Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah





Love has taken, taken its toll, love has


Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah





Love has taken, taken its toll, love has


Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
