Give It Up (The Dawning Of Rejection) – Patti LaBelle
By
It’s so nice starting out I impress you – impress me Every move we make when we’re together We try to please It’s so much fun, getting started Checkin’ out you, Checkin’ out me Making sure we don’t overlook Each other’s needs
And then the warning of neglect starts setting in The dawning of rejection The next of kin to Misled affection, loss of direction Like a loose connection, with no protection
Give it up, or tell where it’s at Give it up, don’t treat us like that Give it up…come together And give your love to me
It’s a wish coming true Me finding you, finding me Everything we touch turns to gold It was so easy It’s a dream coming true You loving me, loving you Happiness just seems to unfold It was so easy
Then the feeling of defeat Starts setting in Feeling of deceit, the next of kin To homemade lies, alibis and Underfed love, a love that dies
Give it up or tell me where it’s at Give it up, don’t treat us like that Give it up,come together And give your love to me
Give it up or tell where it’s at Give it up, don’t you treat us like that Give it up, come on together and Give your love to me
Give it up, then the warning of neglect Starts setting in The dawning of rejection To the next of kin Misled affection, loss of direction Like a loose connection with no protection
Then the feeling of defeat starts setting in Feelings of deceit to the next of kin Homemade lies, alibis and underfed love A love that dies Give it up Give it up Give it up
