Give It Up Lyrics

He's so good at talkin' around and his self has got you turned upside down
But when he's down in here with you... his lyin' words they seem so true

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

He's the one walkin' so tall and you're wonderin' why you're feelin' so small
Don't be afraid to let it show... his feelin's come and they go

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

Breakin' up is so long a time
Wonderin' if he's leavin' you behind... and if it's all worthwhile

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

Give it up...-You gotta give it up
You gotta give it up... ooooh
Give it up...

Let Me Love You Tonight [*]

He's so good at talkin' around and his self has got you turned upside down
But when he's down in here with you... his lyin' words they seem so true

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

He's the one walkin' so tall and you're wonderin' why you're feelin' so small
Don't be afraid to let it show... his feelin's come and they go

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

Breakin' up is so long a time
Wonderin' if he's leavin' you behind... and if it's all worthwhile

You gotta give it up... he's foolin' with your love
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down
Give it up... and someone else will come along
You gotta give it up... Don't let it hold you down

Give it up...-You gotta give it up
You gotta give it up... ooooh
Give it up...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
