[Chorus]
I gave up all I had
All the good things that made me glad
I gave up all I had
For you, oh

[Verse 1]
She was good
Did what she knew she should
She'd never run out on you
I don't believe she could
But all you do is hurt me
Just like she said you would
I'd go back to my baby
If I thought I could

[Chorus]
I gave up all I had
All the good things that made me glad
I gave up all I had
For you, oh

[Verse 2]
I walk the streets all night
Just longing to hold her tight
I wanna hear her tell me
"Everything's all right"
You won't let me go, no no
You follow behind me still
Why won't you leave me alone
And let me do what I will?
[Chorus]
I gave up all I had
All the good things that made me glad
I gave up all I had
For you, oh

[Verse 3]
She had four beautiful children
And they were nice to me
They loved and respected poor me
But I had to earn that love
'Cause they didn't have no daddy
When I first met the girl
I took them under my wings
That's when we fell in love

[Chorus]
I gave up all I had
All the good things that made me glad
I gave up all I had
For you, oh
I gave up all I had
All the good things that made me glad (Wish I could get 'em back)
I gave up all I had
For you, oh
