Give It Up Lyrics - Mystic Pinball - John Hiatt

So you take what you want 

Like you know what you need 

And you run like a train 

'Til your mind doesn't strain to believe 

And you see what you see 

And it's thin as a wire 

And it trips you up 

Every time you show your naked desire 

Give it up, give it up 

Hasn't got you nowhere 

Live it up, live it up 

There's folks who love you back there 

And if I see Sally 

I'm gonna tell her you care 

With that nasty old habit 

And not even a dollar to spare

'Cause she may still wanna help you 

For the very last time 

'Cause she knows how it works 

She knows you have to make up your own mind 

Give it up, give it up 

That limb is gonna break 

Give it up, give it up 

Just how much more can you take? 

Give it up, give it up 

You know you got to do your share 

Give it up, give it up 

Somebody loves you back there 

And the nights get longer 

You wish the day didn't come 

And the pounding in your head 

Says you're hell-bent on killing someone 

Photos 

The pain on your face 

It's like a beast in control 

And it's feelin' like somethin's 

Been torn from that hole in your soul 

Give it up, give it up 

You got to do your part 

Give it up, give it up 

All you gotta do is start 

Give it up, give it up 

While there's someone to save 

Give it up, give it up 

Before we're cryin' in someone's grave 

Give it up, give it up 

Before we're cryin' in someone's grave
