Gave Your Love Away
Majid Jordan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said this would be the very last time
I'll be seeing you
'Cause you don't even wanna talk
And you don't even wanna meet up, up
You don't even wanna be friends
Pretend you like me, ooh, oh, oh
I take time for love
It's right, your love takes hold of you
Take time for love, babe
And try my best to explain, yeah
But I had to throw it all away, why?

I said I love you, baby
And, I, I gave your love away
I said I love you, baby
And, I gave, I gave your love away
I said I love you, baby
And, I, I gave your love away
I said I love you, baby
And, I, I gave your love away

I gave your love away
I gave your love away
I gave your love away
No, no, no, no

I'm in the courtyard of your mansion in Westlake
Feelin' a way about today, with a grey
To get on, movin' along, checkin' my phone
Thought I heard you call, I was wrong
Why has it been so long?

I said I love you, baby
And, I, I gave your love away
I said I love you, baby
And, I gave, I gave your love away

I said I love you, baby
I, I gave your love away
I said I love you, baby
And, I gave, I gave your love away

I gave your love away
I gave your love away
I gave your love away
I gave your love away
No, no, no, no

I hate to give up, yeah I hate to give up

I gave your love away
I gave your love away
I gave your love away
I gave your love away
No, no, no, no

Take time for love
That's what you said to me
Take time for love
Make time for it

Make time for love
So I know that we can be something

I said I love you, baby
And, I, I gave your love away
I said I love you, baby
And, I gave, I gave your love away

I said I love you, baby
And, I, I gave your love away




I said I love you, baby
And, I gave, I gave your love away

Only Majid Jordan could make a track sound like a hard throwback, and futuristic at the same time.

My wife and I use to ride and crank this up as loud as possible hold each other'heart and just ride. She's passed on to her journey. This has so many memories for me. I feel closer to my wife when I hear this jam. Michigan Nishnabe in da house!!!

May your wife receive mercy from God brother.
I used to bump this during my summer holidays with my close friend back in 2017 December, he passed on a few months after our last summer. I remember him when I hear this album every time.
