Durand Jones & The Indications
Givin’ Up
[Chorus]
Said giving up thinking about you, baby
I think it’s time for me to go on my way
Said I’m giving up thinking about you, baby
I think it’s time for me to go on my way

[Verse 1]
Baby, you know I tried so hard
To ease your mind and please your heart
But all you ever wanna do to me
Is make me, make me cry and leave
You said that you really loved me
And you wanted me to be your man
I’m doing the best that I can
But you never understand

[Chorus]
And I’m giving up thinking about you, baby
I think it’s time for me to go on my own way
Said I’m giving up thinking about you, baby
I think it’s time for me to go on my own way

[Verse 2]
There’s a cold stone in my heart
And it’s getting colder
And there ain’t nothing you can say
Maybe I don’t feel like dancing
Because I’m getting older
Or maybe ‘cause you’ve gone away
That old love letter that you wrote
Still lying on the shelf by the corner
Said we’d be together soon
And now I’ve been thinking ‘bout the toll on my heart
And the space that’s left for her
But I’m running out of room
[Chorus]
So giving up thinking about you, baby
I think it’s time for me to go on my own way
Said I’m giving up thinking about you, baby
I think it’s time for me to go on my own way
