Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your signal's weak and you're feeling low
She said, "Don't try to think you know what I'm thinking."
So give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
It's obvious that you're feeling down
And you don't want anyone around
But you know that's exactly what you need
So give it up now, give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up
Take a chance on stupidity
And have a seat, come ride with me.
We'll set a course for anywhere, but here
So give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
Don't be afraid to make this mistake
I'll turn you on like a stereo
So, take a chance or you'll never know
The water's deep, but water can't kill you
So give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up now
Give it up, whoa
Give it up now, just give it up
