You call her up on the telephone
You say, "I miss you when I'm all alone"
She says, "I'm sorry but I'm moving on"
I found somebody else while you were gone
She says, don't take it that way
Don't take it, don't take it that way
Don't take it that way
Don't take it, don't take it that way
Sweet freedom of a foreign girl
You took a trip all around the world
Broke a promise for a heavenly thrill
You said I do when you meant I will
You said don't take it that way
Don't take it, don't take it that way
Don't take it that way
Don't take it, don't take it that way
Hitched a ride on a private plane
You might have turned the tide back gone against the grain
Stole easy money from your best friend
Kind of knew you'd never see him again
And then to kill some time you went to war
Didn't even know what you were fighting for
You were so young with prospects so poor
Now what you've become no one can be sure
You're still saying don't take it that way
Don't take it, don't take it that way
Don't take it that way
Don't take it, don't take it that way
Am I supposed to take it
