He's so good at talkin' around and his self has got you 
turned upside down
But when he's down in here with you... his lyin' words 
they seem so true

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

He's the one walkin' so tall and you're wonderin' why 
you're feelin' so small
Don't be afraid to let it show... his feelin's come and 
they go

You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

Breakin' up is so long a time
Wonderin' if he's leavin' you behind... and if it's all 
worthwhile

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

Give it up...-You gotta give it up
You gotta give it up... ooooh
Give it up...
