[00:00.00]Give It Up - Curtis Mayfield
[00:07.54]Written by：Curtis Mayfield/Riley Hampton/Gary Slabo
[00:15.09]It is my theory
[00:17.86]The two of us are somewhat leery
[00:21.78]About the happiness
[00:24.19]We both set out to possess
[00:27.85]We've got all the comforts of life
[00:31.27]A few kids and you are my wife
[00:35.01]And I tell it like it is
[00:37.42]I must confess
[00:39.19]I'm gonna have to give it up
[00:45.89]I'm gonna have to give it up
[00:52.62]Oh concern and the trust
[00:57.36]That never happened with us
[01:00.32]The warmth of embraces
[01:03.59]And the love of our faces
[01:06.97]It never happened you see
[01:10.96]And I'm so sorry
[01:14.81]I really truly love you
[01:18.16]And the kids you must agree
[01:21.65]And I never had too much concern
[01:24.58]Or interest in astrology
[01:28.21]But as I read it must be so
[01:31.31]The invulnerable word incompatible
[01:35.27]No matter how much we try
[01:37.85]Our indifference would still show
[01:40.11]Now we've got to give it up
[01:46.49]I'm gonna have to give it up
[01:53.15]Oh concern and the trust
[01:57.88]That never happened with us
[02:00.81]The warmth of embraces
[02:04.08]And the love of our faces
[02:07.26]It never happened you see
[02:11.23]And I'm so sorry
[02:13.26]Now we've got to give it up
[02:18.26]Oh child
[02:20.23]I've got to give it up
[02:24.89]Lord have mercy
[02:26.48]Now I've got to give it up
[02:33.44]I've got to give it up
[02:39.64]Oh concern and the trust
[02:44.35]That never happened with us
[02:47.23]The walk of embraces
[02:50.53]And the love of our faces
[02:53.81]It never happened you see
[02:57.62]And I'm so sorry
[02:59.58]But now we've got to give it up
[03:04.52]What am I to do
[03:06.53]Child we've got to give it up
[03:10.17]I'll be so lonely without you
[03:12.99]But now I've got to give it up
[03:17.03]Lord forgive me
[03:20.19]I've got to give it up
[03:26.48]Now I've got to give it up
[03:33.21]Gonna have to give it up
