I GAVE IT UP (WHEN I FELL IN LOVE)
|
Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller
|
(album: GIVE ME THE REASON - 1986)
|
|
My friends told me all about it
|
They said I had to see for myself
|
But I never really cared much about love
|
I thought I could live without it
|
Until I met this one girl
|
And she was so fine
|
I knew she was the one who could change my mind
|
|
Chorus:
|
See, I used to be such a bad bad boy
|
And good times were my toy for joy
|
That was all I was thinking of
|
But I gave it up when I fell in love
|
I used to know the party people around the world
|
I gave it up when I found that girl
|
And she's the one treats me good enough
|
So I gave it up when I fell in love
|
|
I thought I was justified
|
To only see the world through my eyes
|
And that it was a waste of time talkin' 'bout love
|
But it only took a little time to make change my mind
|
'Cause when she said goodbye
|
See, I really thought I'd never stop crying
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Bridge:
|
Now, every night I dream about you and our new love
|
All of my friends say I'm such a different guy
|
And they wonder
|
Oh, how they wonder
|
|
Ad lib
|
I gave it up
|
Sho' nuff gave it up
|
That was all I was thinking of
|
But I gave it up when I fell in love
|
