[Intro]
Gotta give it up
Gotta give it up
Gotta give it up
Gotta give it up

[Verse 1]
Now it's need and not desire
And I feel like such a liar
When I look into your eyes to say those special words
We no longer feel this way
It's like we're acting in a play
There's not a thing you have to tell me that I haven't heard

[Chorus]
(Gotta give it up)
This ain't no good for anybody
(Gotta give it up)
Oh-oh, gotta let me choose for me
(Gotta give it up)
Ooh‚ oh‚ there's no other way to go
Gotta spend a little time alone

[Verse 2]
Now it's not that you have changed
Or that I am not the same
If anything‚ it hurts us not to change with time
And I can't keep reaching back
And I can't go on with this act
I'd be surprised to hear you say you feel otherwise
[Chorus]
(Gotta give it up)
This ain't no good for anybody
(Gotta give it up)
Oh-oh, gotta let me choose for me, yeah
(Gotta give it up)
There's no other way to go
Gotta spend a little time alone‚ yeah

[Bridge]
Let it go (Let it go)
Don't say no (Don't say no)
Now we saw (Oh yeah, ah yeah)
That it's not gonna get (It's not gonna get)
That it's not gonna get (Any better, yeah)

[Chorus]
(Gotta give it up)
This ain't no good for anybody
(Gotta give it up)
Oh-oh‚ 'cause I let me choose for me, yeah
(Gotta give it up)
There's no other way to go
Gotta spend a little time (Gotta give it up)
A little time alone (Gotta give it up)
[Outro]
There is no other way to go (Gotta give it up)
Gotta spend a little time, a little time alone (Gotta give it up)
It's like we're acting in a play (Gotta give it up)
But wait, no love could feel this way, yeah (Gotta give it up)
Just give it up, baby, yeah (Gotta give it up)
