Smokey Robinson
I Gave Up Quality For Quantity
[Intro]
Hoo-hoo, ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
You're such a sweet thing
You're so fine
You're just as pretty on the inside
As you are outside
To think that you were mine

[Pre-Chorus]
And when some other girls start hanging around
Like a fool I went and put you down

[Chorus]
I gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I'm sad and blue
Because I put them all together
And they don't equal just one you
(Just one you, just one you)

[Verse 2]
You gave me all your love
With a gentle touch (With a gentle touch)
How could I have given up one girl
For five timеs as many
And still not have as much?
[Pre-Chorus]
They say that a bird in the hand
Is worth tеn in the bush
And since I gave you up for them
You don't know how I wish

[Chorus]
I hadn't gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I'm sad and blue
Because I put them all together
And they don't equal just one you
(Just one you, just one you)
Little old you

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh, baby, now, you've got a certain quality
That only diamonds possess
The rest are like costume jewelry
You're the best (You're the best)
Baby, I confess (I confess)

[Chorus]
I never should have gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I'm sad and blue
Because I put them all together
And they don't equal just one you
(Just one you, just one you)
[Outro]
Whoa, I shouldn't have gave
Gave up quality for quantity
Tell me why did I give up quality for quantity
I never should have gave up
