I think I'm about to give in 
To a love that was doomed to begin with 
And what would those naysayers say? 

They'd say 
"I knew she would leave you 
It's the least she could do 
To a two-timing deabeat 
That hides the truth 
You don't want to say 
You've been taken 
You've been taken" 

So let's say I'm going to give in 
Who says your arms are still open? 
Have I missed your sad sailboat again? 

Oh, I could jump into the ocean 
And fight through the waves 
Or any old hurricane that came my way 
If that's what it takes 
To be taken 
To be taken 

What is it about you 
That I want to rescue? 
Or is it me 
That needs to be rescued? 

And what if I never give in? 
It just might not make any difference 
Or it might fill my heart with regret 

Because I could be out on the weekends 
At the usual house 
And what if you enter 
On another's arms? 
And you eyes would say 
"I am taken 
I am taken 
I am taken 
Oh, I really am"
