WISHBONE ASH
"Give It Up"
(Joe Crabtree / Jyrki Manninen / Andy Powell / Bob Skeat)

I've got love in my heart for you
And I've done what you wanted me to
Burned all my old love letters
Hoping you would love me better
But if it's gonna go on this way
We just might call it a day
And give it up

You used my past as a lame excuse
And you threw it in my face
Pushed my pride to the limit
How much more can a poor boy take
But if you're gonna keep bringing me down
You can save your love for another clown

[Chorus:]
And give it up tonight
Give it up tonight
Give it up tonight
I'm giving up on loving you

So listen to me, baby
I know what I'm talking about
If you live your life in the present tense
My love you wouldn't need to doubt
But if it's gonna go on this way
We just gotta call it a day

[Chorus:]
And give it up tonight
Give it up tonight
Give it up tonight
Giving, giving up on loving you, loving you
Give it up tonight

Giving up on loving you

Giving up on loving you
Giving up on loving you
Giving up on loving you
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Giving up on loving you
