[Intro: CeeLo Green]
Give, give, give it away, now
Give, give, give it away, now
Give it away, now

[Verse: CeeLo Green & Sierra Simone]
I-I-I-I don't know what matters to you at this moment
But that's all that matters to me
How are you? How are you? Knock on wood
Well, I'm not doin' so good
I bet you probably couldn't tell
Although you're worth it, I'm still not well
And I don't understand how I'm so understanding
I guess that that's all I can be
How are you? How are you? I think I can help
But I can't help myself
Shouldn't I be happy? You need my help
I usually just talk to myself

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
Oh, can't you see, oh, can't you see?
If I help somebody, baby, there's mercy for me (Me)
Ah, charity (And you, for you, one for you, and you, and you)

[Bridge: CeeLo Green & Sierra Simone]
Don't wanna bother you, baby, but I'm bleedin', too
Are you needin' me like I'm needin' you?
Even my shadow leaves me all alone at night
Guess I need to start to take my own advice
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
Oh, can't you see, oh, can't you see?
Somebody's a liar, whoever said freedom was free (Free)
Ah, charity

[Refrain: CeeLo Green]
Give, give, give it away, now
Give, give, give it away, now
Give it away, now
Give it away, now

[Outro: CeeLo Green]
Woo! Alright
Yeah
I want to be your baby
Charity, you better give it to somebody
