《Give It Up》歌词

[00:00:00] Give It Up - Curtis Mayfield (寇帝·梅菲)

[00:00:00] Written by：Curtis Mayfield/Riley Hampton/Gary Slabo

[00:00:15] It is my theory

[00:00:17] The two of us are somewhat leery

[00:00:21] About the happiness

[00:00:24] We both set out to possess

[00:00:27] We've got all the comforts of life

[00:00:31] A few kids and you are my wife

[00:00:35] And I tell it like it is

[00:00:37] I must confess

[00:00:39] I'm gonna have to give it up

[00:00:45] I'm gonna have to give it up

[00:00:52] Oh concern and the trust

[00:00:57] That never happened with us

[00:01:00] The warmth of embraces

[00:01:03] And the love of our faces

[00:01:06] It never happened you see

[00:01:10] And I'm so sorry

[00:01:14] I really truly love you

[00:01:18] And the kids you must agree

[00:01:21] And I never had too much concern

[00:01:24] Or interest in astrology

[00:01:28] But as I read it must be so

[00:01:31] The invulnerable word incompatible

[00:01:35] No matter how much we try

[00:01:37] Our indifference would still show

[00:01:40] Now we've got to give it up

[00:01:46] I'm gonna have to give it up

[00:01:53] Oh concern and the trust

[00:01:57] That never happened with us

[00:02:00] The warmth of embraces

[00:02:04] And the love of our faces

[00:02:07] It never happened you see

[00:02:11] And I'm so sorry

[00:02:13] Now we've got to give it up

[00:02:18] Oh child

[00:02:20] I've got to give it up

[00:02:24] Lord have mercy

[00:02:26] Now I've got to give it up

[00:02:33] I've got to give it up

[00:02:39] Oh concern and the trust

[00:02:44] That never happened with us

[00:02:47] The walk of embraces

[00:02:50] And the love of our faces

[00:02:53] It never happened you see

[00:02:57] And I'm so sorry

[00:02:59] But now we've got to give it up

[00:03:04] What am I to do

[00:03:06] Child we've got to give it up

[00:03:10] I'll be so lonely without you

[00:03:12] But now I've got to give it up

[00:03:17] Lord forgive me

[00:03:20] I've got to give it up

[00:03:26] Now I've got to give it up

[00:03:33] Gonna have to give it up
