Take What You Can Get
Embracing Life's Offerings: Take What You Can Get
Lyrics
Give me long looks for my time dear
Desire for sustained attention and appreciation for one's time and efforts.
quote me an old lonesome song
Request for the recollection of a melancholic song, suggesting a mood of reflection.
you've been getting what you need
Acknowledgment that the other person has been receiving what they need.
and I've been getting along
Expressing personal resilience and ability to cope despite challenges.
I get the feeling the lines here
Sense of obstruction or interference in communication or relationships.
have got to much in their way
Perceived difficulty or hindrance in the current situation or circumstances.
give me long looks for my time, dear
Reiteration of the desire for sustained attention and acknowledgment.
if that's all you can say
Acceptance of limited communication or expression from the other person.
You take what you can get when you can get it
Emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise.
you can't take it back now, you've already said it
Irreversibility of spoken words, underlining the significance of choices made.
I tried to love you and don't you forget it
Assertive statement about attempting to love, with a plea for remembrance.
you take what you can get, when you can get it
Reiteration of the importance of accepting what is available in the given moment.
I'm starting to think that forever is moving through time on her own
Contemplation on the fleeting nature of forever and its independent progression.
gone soon as the wind shifts, and on and on and on and on
Comparison of forever to the unpredictable and transient nature of the wind.
soft as your lips on my palest skin
Description of a gentle touch and its effect on the speaker's skin.
that curls and shivers with your kiss
Imagery of physical sensations evoked by a kiss.
push me, but slowly, away dear
Expression of being pushed away, suggesting a struggle in the relationship.
I can't go on like this
Recognition of the difficulty in continuing the current state of affairs.
You take what you can get when you can get it
Reiteration of the theme of accepting what is available in a given situation.
you can't take it back now, you've already said it
Highlighting the irreversible nature of spoken words and their impact.
I tried to love you and don't you forget it
Reminder of the speaker's effort to love and a plea for acknowledgment.
you take what you can get, when you can get it
Reiteration of the importance of accepting what is available in the given moment.
I spent the night in Kentucky, smoking in my motel room and you left your home feeling lucky
Narrative of spending a night in Kentucky, with a reference to feeling fortunate.
in every way that you do
Acknowledgment of the other person's positive feelings as they depart.
You take what you can get when you can get it
Reiteration of the theme of accepting what is available in a given situation.
you can't take it back now, you've already said it
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of spoken words and their impact.
I tried to love you and don't you forget it
Reminder of the speaker's effort to love and a plea for acknowledgment.
you take what you can get, when you can get it
Reiteration of the importance of accepting what is available in the given moment.
