Give up the Funk
P-Funk Allstars Lyrics

I know I got you wrapped around my finger
I understand that I have a strong emotional hold on you.

I know when I leave you feel my kiss linger
I realize that you yearn for me even when I am not with you.

I know sparks fly in your mind
I am aware that you cannot stop thinking about me.

Every time I, Oh, every time I
Each instance in which I appear in your life, whether physically or mentally, has an effect on you.

It's hard for you cuz you know I'm not staying
You find it difficult to accept that I am not going to commit to you.

Don't walk away but you know that I'm playing
Although you do not want to leave me, you realize that I am not being sincere with you.

You don't see it, but I don't feel it, I can't mean it
You are oblivious to the fact that I do not reciprocate your feelings and therefore cannot be honest with you.

Give me all your love
I want you to love me with all your heart.

Still won't be enough
Even if you give me all your love, it will not satisfy me.

You should know that I don't want your touch
I do not desire physical affection from you.

Oh, you're sweet like candy
You are kind and gentle towards me.

Smile when you kiss me
You express pleasure when we engage in physical intimacy.

But you just can't help me
Despite your efforts, you are unable to fulfill my emotional needs.

No, you just can't help me
You do not have the ability to make me truly happy.

Your love's so healthy
Your love is genuine and pure.

Butterflies in the street
You feel excited and nervous when you think about me.

But it's not you that I see
Despite your positive qualities, I am not interested in a serious relationship with you.

You know I'm sorry
I feel regretful for leading you on and causing you pain.

Cuz you really want me
I am aware of the depth of your feelings for me.

And I just let you be
I have allowed you to continue to hope for a future with me, despite knowing that I cannot provide that for you.

Now it's time to set you free
I believe it is in your best interest to move on from me and find someone who can reciprocate your feelings.

And I don't want to be selfish it's your
I do not want my own selfish motives to interfere with what is best for you.

And trust me you don't want none of my
You should not desire a relationship with me, as I am not capable of fulfilling your emotional needs.

Give up on my love, love, love
It is time for you to let go of any hope for a romantic relationship with me.
