I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
|
Tell my mama and tell my pa
|
That their fine young son didn't get far
|
He made it to the end of a bottle
|
Sitting in a sleazy bar
|
|
He tried hard but his spirit broke
|
He tried until he nearly choked
|
In the end he lost his
|
Bottle drinking alcohol
|
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
|
Tell my brother I tried to write and
|
Put pen to paper but I was frightened
|
I couldn't seem to get the words out right
|
Right quite right
|
|
Tell my sister I'm sinking slow
|
Now and again I powder my nose
|
In the end I lost my bottle
|
It smashed in a casbah
|
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
|
I've been messing with the heavy stuff
|
For a time I couldn't get enough
|
But I'm waking up and it's wearing off
|
Junk don't take you far
|
|
Tell my Mama I'm coming home
|
In my youth I'm getting older
|
And I think it's lost control
|
Mama I'm coming home
|
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
|
That stuff
|
