[Verse 1]
I'm a plant, without water
Marilyn with no lover
Tokyo with no girls
But girls, no girls in the world?
Seeing porn on a billboard
On a date, but-but-but I'm so bored and sober

[Chorus]
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I'm through playing cool

I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I'm through playing cool

I give up

[Verse 2]
A radio without crooners
Berlin, but banning all the doers
I'm doo wop without Donna
Or Franz sans "Do-Do-Do You Wanna"?
California losing LA
A cactus in a New York subway
Nicotine and clean air
A runaway all there
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I'm through playing cool

I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I'm through playing cool

I give up

[Bridge]
Summertime with very sad news
The Dalai Lama getting mad again
It's like tinder and coincidence
Or nicotine and clean air
A runaway all there
Metalica and rosé
Eating all the pizza in New Orleans
On the wages of a clerk

[Chorus]
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I'm through playing cool
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I give up, I need your love
I'm through playing cool

I give up
