Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Giving up, so hard to do
When you still depend upon
His warm and tender touch
His kiss and his caress
Oh, they used to mean so much
And bring you happiness
Giving up, so hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use
Giving up, so hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use
But my light of hope is burning down
Oh but, but in my heart I pray
That my love and faith in the man
Will bring him back to me
I'm talking 'bout if you really love somebody
Whether
Whether he knows or not
He really needs me too
I said the man is all I got
Yes he is
And giving up, giving up is so hard to do
Giving up
So hard to do
Hey, hey, giving up
So hard for me to do
I said I've tried
Hey, Can't break through
I don't want to lose you
Cause you mean so much to me
Givin up
