Give it Up
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So give it up, woah
I guess it's overdue, I'm over you
Give it up, woah
But I know you're untrue, so I'll never give it up to you

She can't resist, too blind to see
I know his girlfriend's all about me
Her words are like a heart attack
All night she'll be begging me to come back

She tried to break my heart
But when she's looking in my eyes
She's torn apart, she can't deny it
Can't get by it, it's so, so bad

So give it up, woah
I guess it's overdue, I'm over you
So give it up, woah
Even in your dreams, I bet you think of me
You're so untrue baby, I know you're nothing new
So give it up 'cause I'd never give it up to you

She won't admit, I can't confess
Make sure I never tell her I could care less
When she looks at you, you might think twice
Witness seduction in her eyes

She tries to break my heart
But when she's looking in my eyes
She's torn apart, she can't deny it
Can't get by it, it's so, so bad

So give it up, woah
I guess it's overdue, I'm over you
So give it up, woah
Even in your dreams, I bet you think of me
You're so untrue baby, I know you're nothing new
So give it up 'cause I'd never give it up to you

She said, stay, I'd run away so soon
But I could see it coming from across the room
Now I know she's full of lies
I won't get caught with her tonight

So give it up, woah
I guess it's overdue, I'm over you
So give it up,
I guess it's overdue, I'm over you
So give it up, woah
Even in your dreams, I bet you think of me
You're so untrue baby, I know you're nothing new

So give it up,
I guess it's overdue, I'm over you
So give it up, woah
Even in your dreams, I bet you think of me

You're so untrue baby, I know you're nothing new




So give it up 'cause I'd never give it up to you
'Cause I'd never give it up to you, ooh
