Giving up Lyrics


What if we stop having a ball?
What if the paint chips from the wall?
What if there's always cups in the sink?
And what if I'm not what you think I am?
What if I fall further than you?
What if you dream of somebody new?
What if I never let you win
And chase you with a rolling pin?
Well, what if I do?
'Cause I am giving up on making passes and
I am giving up on half empty glasses and
I am giving up on greener grasses
I am giving up
What if our baby comes in after nine?
What if your eyes close before mine?
What if you lose yourself sometimes?
Then I'll be the one to find you, safe in my heart
'Cause I am giving up on making passes and

I am giving up on half empty glasses and
I am giving up on greener grasses
I am giving
'Cause I am giving up
(I am giving up)
'Cause I am giving up
(I am giving up)
I am giving up on greener grasses
I am giving up for you, oh oh
I am giving up for you, oh oh
I am giving up

The Ad Libs were one of the few '60s group with a female lead and male back-up and their sound prefigured the jazz-styled doo wop of several later groups like The Manhattan Transfer. John Taylor was a saxophone player who had worked with various big band groups as far back as the 30s. By the early '60s he had quit playing and had a career as a teacher. It was during this time that he came across the Creators, a Hudson County, New Jersey streetcorner quintet. The Creators consisted of Hugh Harris, James Wright, John Alan, Danny Harris, and Chris Coles.
