F#                   E
Some girls you meet seem so complete
           G                       D
Like they don't need nothing from you
F#                           E
They're out to show you they don't want to know you
G                      D
When deep inside they do
F#                                       E
Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
          G                            D
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
        F#         E
I was a young bull stomping in the field
       G                   D E
I saw red when she walked by

Chorus:
 A                        F#   D
Love has taken its toll, love has
      E    A                F#      D
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, feeling so smooth
'Til she backhanded me across my face

Chorus

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

Chorus:
Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, love has taken its toll, oh yeah
Love has taken, taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, love has taken its toll, oh yeah
Love has taken, love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, love has taken its toll, oh yeah
