Give It Up - Curtis Mayfield (寇帝·梅菲)[00:00:00]
Written by:Curtis Mayfield/Riley Hampton/Gary Slabo[00:00:00]
It is my theory[00:00:15]
The two of us are somewhat leery[00:00:17]
About the happiness[00:00:21]
We both set out to possess[00:00:24]
We've got all the comforts of life[00:00:27]
A few kids and you are my wife[00:00:31]
And I tell it like it is[00:00:35]
I must confess[00:00:37]
I'm gonna have to give it up[00:00:39]
I'm gonna have to give it up[00:00:45]
Oh concern and the trust[00:00:52]
That never happened with us[00:00:57]
The warmth of embraces[00:01:00]
And the love of our faces[00:01:03]
It never happened you see[00:01:06]
And I'm so sorry[00:01:10]
I really truly love you[00:01:14]
And the kids you must agree[00:01:18]
And I never had too much concern[00:01:21]
Or interest in astrology[00:01:24]
But as I read it must be so[00:01:28]
The invulnerable word incompatible[00:01:31]
No matter how much we try[00:01:35]
Our indifference would still show[00:01:37]
Now we've got to give it up[00:01:40]
I'm gonna have to give it up[00:01:46]
Oh concern and the trust[00:01:53]
That never happened with us[00:01:57]
The warmth of embraces[00:02:00]
And the love of our faces[00:02:04]
It never happened you see[00:02:07]
And I'm so sorry[00:02:11]
Now we've got to give it up[00:02:13]
Oh child[00:02:18]
I've got to give it up[00:02:20]
Lord have mercy[00:02:24]
Now I've got to give it up[00:02:26]
I've got to give it up[00:02:33]
Oh concern and the trust[00:02:39]
That never happened with us[00:02:44]
The walk of embraces[00:02:47]
And the love of our faces[00:02:50]
It never happened you see[00:02:53]
And I'm so sorry[00:02:57]
But now we've got to give it up[00:02:59]
What am I to do[00:03:04]
Child we've got to give it up[00:03:06]
I'll be so lonely without you[00:03:10]
But now I've got to give it up[00:03:12]
Lord forgive me[00:03:17]
I've got to give it up[00:03:20]
Now I've got to give it up[00:03:26]
Gonna have to give it up[00:03:33]
