Don’t Give Up On Love lyrics

by

Rick James


[Verse 1]
When you turn your back on love
It's like turning off a light
Leaves you in the dark and all alone
To deny yourself of feelings
It's like looking for a candle
In the dark of night when there's a storm

[Pre-Chorus]
To enslave your inner feelings
Of your heart and soul and mind
Will cause you just pain
In a matter of time
And to lock in all emotion
'Cause your heart has just been broken
And expect your love to come
Then you're wasting your time
Girl, you've got to

[Chorus]
Give your love
Give me more than just a minute
Put your heart and body in it
And give me all your love, baby
Give your love
Can you make it last forever?
Woman, tell me that you'll never leave me in a day
No, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't give up on love, no, no
'Cause if you do, if you do
Love might just give up on you
And you'll be lonely, and you'll be lonely
[Verse 2]
When you tell me love's a game
And you'll only play to win
And expect my heart to gamble
Then you're wrong again
When you love just to possess
Losing touch on tenderness
Then you call yourself a friend
Girl, you just pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
When you're makin' love to me at night
And something there just isn't right
When the love makin' is through
I wanna talk to you
When we talk of love as the bottom line
Between two sheets when the love is fine
And then out of bed
Can't relate from the head
Girl, you know that ain't right

[Chorus]
Give your love
Give me more than just a minute
Put your heart and body in it
And give me all your love, baby
Give your love
Can you make it last forever?
Woman, tell me that you'll never leave me in a day
No, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't give up on love, no no, no no
If you do, if you do
Love might just give up on you
And you'll find that your life will be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't give up on love, no, no, no, no, no, oh
Well, well well, oh no no
Don't give up on love, no, no, no, no no, no
No, no, oh oh oh, baby
[Spoken]
Listen baby, listen to me
Oh, I guess you'll probably think I'm just another one of those kind of guys
Who just wanna make love to you for the price of a line
Oh, I can see in your eyes you've been hurt by love before
And the last thing I wanna do is hurt you anymore
And before the bed becomes our final destination
Let me just give you one more explanation
The love's broken heart has made you cry
Don't be afraid, girl

[Outro]
Don't give up on love, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
