I'm Giving Up on You lyrics

Yeah, yeah

Yes, it is

Yeah

There was a time when we used to care

You and I had a love beyond compare

But that was yesterday

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When I try to get next to you

It's the last thing you want to do, baby

Oh, tell me what's a fool to do?

Stay inside, protect my pride

Everything was an illusion

Now I see I must be free 

To fly away

Yeah, fly

What do I have to do to make you see

I'm not the fool you tried to make of me?

I thought the whole thing through

I'm givin' up on you

Now it's time for me to be a man

There comes a time 

When you must take a stand

That's what I'm gonna do

I'm givin' up on you

It's a shame that we had to fall

'Cause you and I seemed to have it all

But, baby, we finally hit a wall

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now you say that you wanna try

(Wanna try)

But it's too late to give it one more cry

(One more cry)

So it's time to say goodbye

Yes, it is

Why was I the last to know?

Everything was an illusion

Now I see I must be free to fly away

Yeah, fly

What do I have to do to make you see

I'm not the fool you tried to make of me?

I thought the whole thing through

I'm givin' up on you

Stay inside, protect my pride

Everything was an illusion

Now I see I must be free 

To fly away

Yeah, fly

What do I have to do to make you see

I'm not the fool you tried to make of me?

I thought the whole thing through

I'm givin' up on you

Now it's time for me to be a man

(Be a man)

There comes a time 

When you must take a stand

That's what I'm gonna do

I'm givin' up on you
