Al Green
Give It Everything
[Verse 1]
Love
What about the things you want?
What about the things you need
Versus the things you don't have?
You should have
All of this world's desires
All of this world's entire
Bounty and beautiful love
[Chorus]
The stars and the moon
And the bird soars real soon
You should have
All the things that you need
Give it everything
Give it everything
If you love somebody
You got to give it everything
[Verse 2]
Love
There's no time to waste
There's more life to taste
Believers don't have to make haste, oh no
But "I love you"
Is more than just some sweet words
"I love you"
Is the sweetest word I ever heard
One thing about I can't explain
But it sure mean the world to me
When you're sure you love me
Show you love me each time eternally
[Chorus]
The stars and the moon
And the bird soars real soon
It's all for you
Give it everything
You know what I wanna do?
I wanna give it everything
All the world can bring
(All the world can bring)
I want, I wanna, I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Give it everything
[Bridge]
This is one thing I can't understand
Why should you settle for second-best
When you haven't tasted all the rest?
Listen to me, listen to me, listen to my request
You should have all the things you want, oh
The things you need
All of the things your mind can conceive
[Outro]
Oh, the stars, the moon
And the bird soars real soon
Oh, I can't explain it to you
Well, I just have to throw a vocal right here
Give it everything
Give it everything
If you believe in something, if you love somebody
Give it everything, hey
Give it everything
Got to give it, give it, give it, give it
Give it, give it, give it, give it
