Take It Like A Friend Lyrics

         Take It Like a Friend
              (S. Cook)

   If maybe you'd move over
   Gave someone else a chance 
   To try their luck
   Instead, you run up closer
   Try'n to grab a page 
   Before they close the book

Chorus:
       It was over 'fore it started
       Seemed so long when we began
       Hope you take it like a friend
       It's a shame to see you cryin'
       Woudn't think to way back when
       Looks like I'll never hear the end

   Thought you had the honor
   Took special pride 
   In all your well laid plans
   Forgot about the others
   We moved out t'ward the light
   Showin' empty hands

Chorus

   Love to be the winner
   Gather up your chips
   In time to cash 'em in
   We're all lookin' thinner
   Playin' cards
   Too close for either one to win

Chorus
