Taken Lyrics

In every photograph of me
Taken by you
I look like a dog
The family dog
Just staring like nobody's business
Just staring back at the lens like I know what's going on

In every photograph of me
Taken by you
I look like a dog
The family dog
Across my mouth there is something
Can you call it a smile
'Cause do dogs smile?
And smiles can fade
Smiles can fade

And this look on my face
Will never fade away
Never fade away

In every photograph of me
Taken by you
I look like a dog
The family dog
Just staring like nobody's business
Just staring back at the lens like I know what's going on
And in my eyes there is a look
In my eyes there is a look
Like I will never be able to tell you
Just how I feel about you
But I'll try
Oh I'll try

Oh oh oh I'll try (try)
Oh oh oh I'll try (try)
Oh oh oh I'll try (try)
Oh oh oh I'll try (try)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
