Jennifer Holliday - Givin' Up
текст песни

Givin’ up is hard to do when you really love someone.
Givin’ up is so hard to do when you still depend upon…

His word and his tender touch.
His kiss and his caress.
Oh, oh it used to mean so much…
And bring your happiness.

Givin’ up is so hard to do.
I’ve tried, but it just ain't no use.
Givin’ up is so very, so very hard to do.
I said, I’ve tried, but it just ain't no use.

But my light, but my light, my light of hope is burning (yes it is).
Burn! Burning in my heart. I pray…
That my love and faith in a man will bring him, will bring him back some day.

Hey, hey, hey… yeah!

Oh… Whether, whether, whether, whether whether, whether he knows or not
He … he …. he … he really needs me too, yes he does!
You know the man is all I’ve got, yes he is.

And givin’ up, givin’ up, givin’ up is so hard to do. Hey hey Yeah.
Givin’ up… is so hard, so hard for me to do. Hey hey!
Givin’ up… is so very hard for me to do, oh!

I … I , I don’t wanna lose your love. Because it means, it means so very much to me, oh!

See, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes late in the evening, when I’m all alone.
I turn out all the lights, and I hold my pillow tight (yes I do).
I just say Oh! Oh! Ooooooh! Givin’ up! Don’t make me do it baby.
Don’t make me do it, don’t make me, don’t make me.
Hey hey… yeah! Baby Baby….
