Giving Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Givin' up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Givin' up is hard to do
When you still depend upon
His warm and tender touch
His kiss and his caress
That used to mean so much
And bring you happiness
Oh, Lord, is hard to do
I try, but it's just no use
(Givin' up) whoa, Lord, it's hard to do
I tried, but I can't break loose
The light of hope burns dim
But in my heart I pray
My love, my love, my love and faith in him
Will bring him back someday
But, it's just no use
(Givin' up)
No, I can't break loose
Whether he knows or not
He really needs me, too
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord he's all I've got
And giving up
Is so hard to do
(Givin' up)
Oh yes it is
(Givin' up)
Is so hard to do
(Givin' up)
Oh yes it is
(Givin' up)
I just can't break loose
(Givin' up)
No, no, no, no
(Givin' up)
I just can't break loose
No, no, no
