GOT TO GIVE UP WHAT YOU GOT
© 1994 Cynthia Emmets & Betty Ball
My girlfriend called me cryin’ late last night
She and her man had another fight
She wants a ring and a wedding in June
He wants his cake and to eat it too
PRECHORUS There’s only one thing I had to say
Can’t happen any other way
CHORUS Got to give up what you got sometimes
To get what it is you want
Got to give up what you got
A man can’t love when he don't
While you're hangin' on to second best
True love is waitin' in the wings
Got to give up what you got little girl
And trust what tomorrow brings
Had me a lover, couldn't make it work
But he wasn't the last man on this earth
So I said goodbye and into my life
Walked the man of my dreams, now I'm his wife
PRECHORUS: Girl I know this can happen to you
But not ‘til you tell him that you’re through
CHORUS
BRIDGE You can't fit a square peg in a round hole
If love ain’t easy, just let it go
Cause men are like trains, they're always runnin'
Behind every one there's another one comin'
CHORUS
