Giving Up - Donny Hathaway

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 hug… her caress

Oooooh that used to mean so much

And bring you happiness

Woooo ooooooooh

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

But in my heart I pray

That my love and faith in the girl

My love… will bring her back someday

I’m talking 'bout when you really love someone

Whether

Whether she knows or not

She really needs me tooThe little girl is all I got

Yes she is

And giving, giving up is hard to do

Giving up

So hard to do

Heey… giving up

So very hard to do

I said I’ve tried

Hey, 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
