Can’t Give It Up No More – Gladys Knight & The Pips
By
Well, here you come calling After my heart you’ve broken Let me tell you honey The door is no longer open
Now you want my love But I’m sorry you’ve been gone too long For you gave her the best part of your love Then with her you know you didn’t belong (I didn’t belong)
I can stand back here (I can stand here) Hold my head up high (I can stand, I can stand here) Stare you right dead in the face Shout it, shout it to the sky
Can’t give it up no more ‘Cause I’m much too strong, yeah I don’t need you no more Now I’m glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad) Oh no no
Can’t give it up no more ‘Cause I’m much too strong, yeah I don’t need you no more Now I’m glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad) Oh no no
You were once to me Every little beat of my heart (Every beat of my heart) Now you feel that way about me But I’m sorry cause you made us pass (So sorry yeah)
I’ve tried to tell you (Tried to tell you) All the time, that you were wrong (Tried to tell, tried to tell you) And you forget, doing what you did But feel it wouldn’t last too long (Oh the feeling is gone)
Ain’t no sense in you beggin’ me honey (Don’t beg me) No no for what I got Before I’d let you hurt me again I left this broken heart right there
Can’t give it up no more ‘Cause I’m much too strong, yeah I don’t need you no more Now I’m glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad) Oh no no
Can’t give it up no more ‘Cause I’m much too strong, yeah I don’t need you no more Now I’m glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad) Oh no no
Now I do believe (I believe it) That all my love can be returned (I believe, I believe it) That someone not just thinking of themselves And who’ll show me just a little concern So all your sweet talkin’ words Are just a waste of time (Just a waste of time) ‘Cause I’d never take you back again For I’m better by my own
Can’t give it up no more ‘Cause I’m much too strong, yeah I don’t need you no more Now I’m glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad) Oh no no
Can’t give it up no more ‘Cause I’m much too strong, yeah I don’t need you no more Now I’m glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad) Oh no no [fade]
