Give It Up Lyrics - Curtis - Curtis Mayfield

It is my theory 

The two of us are somewhat leery 

About the happiness 

We both set out to posses 

We've got all the comforts of life 

A few kids and you are my wife 

And I tell it like it is 

I must confess 

I'm gonna have to give it up 

I'm gonna have to give it up 

All concern and the trusts that never happened with us 

The walk of embraces and the love of our faces 

It never happened you see and I'm so sorry 

I really truly love you 

And the kids you must agree 

And I never had too much 

Concern or interest in astrology 

But as I read it must be so 

The invulnerable word incompatible 

No matter how much we try 

Our indifference but still show 

Now we've got give it up 

I'm gonna have to give it up 

All concern and the trusts that never happened with us 

The walk of embraces and the love of our faces 

It never happened you see and I'm so sorry 

Now we've got give it up, ooh child 

I've got to have to give it up 

Lord, have mercy 

Now I've got give it up, ooh 

I've got to give it up 

All concern and the trusts that never happened with us 

The walk of embraces and the love of our faces 

It never happened you see and I'm so sorry 

But now we've got to give it up 

What am I do? 

Child, we've got to give it up 

I'll be so lonely without you 

But now I've got to give it up 

Lord, forgive me, ooh 

I've got to give it up, ooh 

Now I've got to give it up 

Lord, I have to give it up
