Giving up
Is hard to do
When you really
Love someone
Giving up


So hard to do
When you still depend upon
Her warm and tender touch
Her kiss and her caress
Ooh, 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 dim
But in my heart I pray
That my love and faith


In the girl
Will bring her back to me
Ooh, whether
Whether she knows or not
She really needs me too


The little girl
Is all I got
Yes she is
And giving up
Giving up is so hard to do


Giving up
So hard to do
Giving up
So very hard to do
I said I've tried it
But I just can't get loose


Giving up
So hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
'Cause you mean
So much to me
Giving up
