If You Give Up What You Got (You’ll See What You Lost) Lyrics by Mable John

Stax Singles 4: Rarities & The Best Of The Rest

[Verse 1]
I fix your breakfast early every morning
I am your water in the tub
When you come on home
I've got the kids all tucked in
So I can listen to what you say
Now I try to show you
[Chorus]
But honey, you are the boss
But if you give up what you got
You'll see what you've lost
[Verse 2]
Bless my soul (Bless my soul!)
My work is never done
I got the cooking and the washing
I run the run
And way on over in the middle of the night
I have to say it's alright (it's alright)
But I don't mind
[Chorus]
Cause baby, you're the boss
But if you give up what you got
You'll see what you've lost
[Verse 3]
Every man is supposed to act like a man
But he ain't supposed to have every woman's hand
Variety is spice in life
If you fall in love with the same one twice
Now I know that you got [?]
At very, very cheap price
[Chorus]
But if you (give up)
Give up what you (got now) got now
You'll see what you've lost
But don't you give up
What you got now
Your love, your love, you're my love
Now don't you give up what you got now
My sweet, my sweet, don't you
Don't you give up what you got now
Your loss, your loss, your loss
