Give It Up
Tyrone Davis Lyrics

You better turn it loose
You need to let go

I went downtown the other day
I went to the city

And I heard a woman say
I overheard a conversation

I do all I can for that man
I give my all to him

At home, he still won't stay
He doesn't want to be home

I could tell the way
It was obvious to me

That woman spoke
What she said

Her heart was truly broke
She was really heartbroken

She said, if a man
According to her

Can't treat his woman right
If he's not treating her well

Give her good loving day and night
He should be giving her love and attention

He sure oughta
He really should

Give it up, turn it loose
Let it go

(Turn it up loose)

You need your man
You want your man

To be satisfied
To be happy

But he tells you no
He refuses you

With no reason why
He doesn't explain

You will finally find out for yourself
You'll eventually realize

There ain't no love between
There's no love left

The two of you left
In your relationship

When you try as hard as you can
When you've done everything you can

To do what you think is right
To make things better

And still, you get that
But things don't change

Same old cold shoulder
The same rejection

Ooh, that same old shoulder

Late at night, late at night
At night

Here's what you do
This is what you should do

When you've done all you can do
When you've tried everything

GIve it up
Let it go

When you see it just ain't no use
When you realize you can't change it

Turn it loose
Move on

Way lay at night
Late at night

When you're laying down
When you're in bed

And you need some hugging
When you want affection

And no one's around
When you're alone

You'll walk around all day long
You'll think about it all day

With love on your mind
Thinking about love

You're thinking about the love
You want love

That you just get sometime
That you only sometimes receive

When you have someone
If you have someone

Sitting there by your side
Next to you

And ain't no company at all
But you feel lonely

All you need is a little loving touch
You just want love

And when you don't get it
But you're not receiving it

It hurts you so much
It's painful

Give it up, give it up
Let it go

Give it up, baby, turn it loose
Move on
