[Verse 1]
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
Ooh, that used to mean so much
And bring you happiness oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Giving up
So hard to do
I've tried (uh uh)
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

[Bridge]
But my light of hope
Is burning dim
Oh but, but in my heart I pray, yeah
That my love and faith
In the man
Whoah, will bring him back someday
Aye-yeah, aye-yeah
I'm talking about
Giving up somebody

[Verse 3]
Ooh, 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
Oh-oh-oh

Giving up
So hard to do
Giving up
So hard for me to do
I said I've tried it
Hey, can't breakthrough
I don't want to lose you
'Cause you mean
So much to me
Ooooh giving up
