Hothouse Flowers
Give It Up
[Intro]
Well
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm coming face to face with my conscience
Coming to an understanding of myself
Clear out all the old cobwebs
Clear all the old books from the shelf
Well, this song's inspired by a good man and his tune
Doing good for others, sing "Amazing Grace" for you, yeah
It doesn't really matter if you're all jumbled up inside
As long as you know that love is endless and the world is wide
As long as you know
[Chorus]
Give it up
Share it out
(Help) Help who you can (Help who you can)
Talk about it (Talk about it)
[Verse 2]
It's late in the morning, close to the time
And Mary's in the alley, she never stops smiling
Always love to see her, she means a lot to me
But I know she's got a hard time tryna make ends meet, yeah
[Chorus]
Give it up
Share it out
Help who you can (I know we can)
Talk about it (Talk about it, uh)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Down George's Street Arcade where the poor children play
Gathering up charity to help them make their day
Well, me, I was once their age, once I was young
But I know I had my family to fall back on
[Chorus]
Give it up (Huh, huh, yeah)
Share it out (Yeah)
Help who you can (I know that you can)
Talk about it (Talk about it, oh)
Give it up (Huh)
Share it out
Help who you can (Don't just)
Talk about it (Talk about it)
[Bridge]
Help these child
Help these child, no
[Chorus]
Give it up (Uh, woo)
Share it out (Share)
Help who you can
Talk about it (Talk about it)
Give it up (Oh, oh)
Share it out
Help who you can (Help who you can)
Talk about it (Talk about it, ooh)
