Give It Up - DeBarge

I see you looking out a broken window

Another rainy day

I see you looking for a face, but I know that

She’s miles away

I know you’re searching your imagination

'Til the morning light

I know you’re searching for an explanation

A simple reason why

I want you to know

That she was never known to be

A lover to ever come on

She treated you cold

And if you ever want to be recovered

You’d better let go

You’ve got to give it up

I know you’re strong enough

To break out of this mountain of lies

You’ve got to give it up

Go on and live it up

Kick her out of your life

Or you never will ever survive

I see you dialing all the combinations

That seven numbers can be

A simple process of elimination

And in your heart you believe

She will be the one who answers saying

She’ll be in right away

But all the nickels and the dimes you’re paying

You’re throwing away

I want you to know

That she was never known to be

A lover to ever come on

She treated you cold

And if you ever want to be recovered

You’d better let go

You’ve got to give it up

I know you’re strong enough

To break out of this mountain of lies

You’ve got to give it up

Go on and live it up

Kick her out of your life

If you’re gonna survive

You’ve got to give it up

I know you’re strong enough

To break out of this mountain of lies

You’ve got to give it up

Go on and live it up

Kick her out of your life

Or you never will ever survive
