I Gave It Up (when I Fell In Love) Lyrics


My friends told me all about it
They said, I had to see for myself
But I never really cared much about love
I thought I 'd get by without it
Until I found this one girl and she was so fine
I knew she was the one who could change my mind
See, I used to be such a bad, bad boy
And good times were my toy for joy
And that was all I was thinking of
But I gave it up when I fell in love
I used to know the party people around the world
I gave it up when I found that girl
And she's the one treats me good enough
So I gave it up when I fell in love
Honey, I thought I was justified
To only see the world through my eyes
And that it was a waste of time talkin' 'bout love
But it only took a little time to make me change my mind

'Cause when she said goodbye
You know, I really thought I'd never stop crying
See, I used to be such a bad, bad boy
And good times were my toy for joy
And that was all I was thinking of
But I gave it up when I fell in love
I used to know the party people around the world
I gave it up when I found that girl
And she's the one, treats me good enough
So I gave it up when I fell in love
And now, every night I dream about you and our new love
All of my friends say I'm such a different guy
And they wonder
Oh, how they wonder
So she's the one, treats me good enough
So I gave it up when I fell in love
I gave it up
[Incomprehensible], baby
She's the one, treats me good enough
So I gave it up when I fell in love
I gave it up
Sho' 'nuff gave it up
Yeah, that was all I was thinking of
But I gave it up when I fell in love
I used to know the party people around the world
I gave it up when I found that girl
And she's the one, treats me good enough
So I gave it up when I fell in love
I used to be such a bad bad boy
And good times were my toy for joy
And that was all I was thinking of
But I gave it up when I fell in love
I used to know the party people around the world

Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005) was an american soul and rnb singer whose career spanned four decades.

In the 70s, he worked as a backing singer Chic and for David Bowie (on the Young Americans album). He later found success as a solo artist with Superstar and A House Is Not A Home.

In the 80s, Vandross was a vocalist on early Change singles (Searching), whilst continuing his solo career with such releases as "Never Too Much", "Power Of Love/Love Power", "If Only For One Night", "Here And Now".

In the 90s, he was more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey (amongst others), than for his solo work.

It was an ongoing battle with his weight that may have ultimately proved his undoing. He suffered a stroke in 2003, from which he never really recovered, and died in 2005.

During his career, he sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times. He won four Grammy awards in 2004, including the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the track "Dance With My Father," co-written with Richard Marx.
