Give It Up Lyrics


It is my theory
The two of us are somewhat leery
About the happiness
We both set out to possesWe've got all the comforts of life
A few kids and you are my wife
And I tell it like it is
I must confessI'm gonna have to give it up
I'm gonna have to give it upAll concern and the trusts that never happened with us
The walk of embraces and the love of our faces
It never happened you see and I'm so sorryI really truly love you
And the kids you must agree
And I never had too much
Concern or interest in astrologyBut as I read it must be so
The invulnerable word incompatible
No matter how much we try
Our indifference but still showNow we've got give it up
I'm gonna have to give it upAll concern and the trusts that never happened with us
The walk of embraces and the love of our faces

It never happened you see and I'm so sorryNow we've got give it up, ooh child
I've got to have to give it up
Lord, have mercy
Now I've got give it up, ooh
I've got to give it upAll concern and the trusts that never happened with us
The walk of embraces and the love of our faces
It never happened you see and I'm so sorryBut now we've got to give it up
What am I do?
Child, we've got to give it up
I'll be so lonely without you
But now I've got to give it upLord, forgive me, ooh
I've got to give it up, ooh
Now I've got to give it up
Lord, I have to give it up

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
