Giving up on love
Giving up on love

I was so crazy about you, everyone knew
I couldn't sleep when I found out, yeah
You feel the way you do
So maybe it's my turn now
to show you how I feel

So listen to what I say
'Cause these feelings I can't conceal

I'm giving up on love
'Cause I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more
Giving up on love
'Cause I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more

I don't believe that you need me
So don't say you do
There ain't no reason for staying
We both know we're through

So don't try and stop me now
'Cause all we had has gone
(All we had has gone)
So listen to what I say
'Cause these feelings are oh so strong

I'm giving up on love
'Cause I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more
Giving up on love
'Cause I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more

Giving up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up, giving up, giving up on love

So don't try and stop me now
'Cause all we had has gone
(All we had has gone)
So listen to what I say
'Cause these feelings are oh so strong
