Can’t give you up Lyrics by Midnight Star

1981

[First verse]
Here we go again
Talking 'bout breaking up
After all we’ve been through
We oughtta be able to work it out
That's not the case
You wanna go away
And leave me all alone
I'm trying hard to be strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Oooooh who are we foolin’?
Probably just ourselves
Ain't foolin' no-one else
Cause we were meant to be together forever and always baby
Don't make me have to say
[Chorus]
(Can't give you up)
Not for all the love in the world
(Can't give you up)
Ooh I want you to be my girl
(Can't give you up)
Tried every trick in the book I know
But I'm hooked on your loving
And I just can’t let you go
[Second verse]
Baby listen close to what I say
The thing I want the most
Is for you to stay
In my life
Ehh ooooohhh so close to me
[?]
But love don’t come easy
[Pre-Chorus]
Oooooh who are we foolin'?
’Cause we sure can't fool ourselves
Ain't foolin' no-one else
We were meant to be together forever and always
Sometimes I gotta say
[Chorus]
(Can’t give you up)
Not for all the love in the world
(Can't give you up)
This woman wants to be your girl
(Can't give you up)
Tried every trick in the book I know
But I'm hooked on your loving
And I just can't let you go
[Bridge]
Baby baby don't go
So won't you put your arms around me
Baby
Love wants you to stay
Please don't make me say
[Chorus]
(Can't give you up)
No no
(Can't give you up)
No baby no
(Can't give you up)
Ooooohhh no ahhh
I just can't give you up
(Can't give you up)
[?] early morning light
And when the night time comes
You're my star shining bright
(Can't give you up)
Not for all the love in the world
(Can't give you up)
This woman wants to be your girl
(Can't give you up)
Tried every trick in the book I know
But I'm hooked on your loving
And I just can't let you go
(Can't give you up)
(Can't give you up)
Baby I just can't give you up
