Give It Up (The Dawning Of Rejection)

It's so nice starting out

I impress you - impress me

Every move we make when we're together

We try to please

It's so much fun, getting started

Checkin' out you, Checkin' out me

Making sure we don't overlook

Each other's needs

And then the warning of neglect starts setting in

The dawning of rejection

The next of kin to

Misled affection, loss of direction

Like a loose connection, with no protection

Give it up, or tell where it's at

Give it up, don't treat us like that

Give it up...come together

And give your love to me

It's a wish coming true

Me finding you, finding me

Everything we touch turns to gold

It was so easy

It's a dream coming true

You loving me, loving you

Happiness just seems to unfold

It was so easy

Then the feeling of defeat

Starts setting in

Feeling of deceit, the next of kin

To homemade lies, alibis and

Underfed love, a love that dies

Give it up or tell me where it's at

Give it up, don't treat us like that

Give it up,come together

And give your love to me

Give it up or tell where it's at

Give it up, don't you treat us like that

Give it up, come on together and

Give your love to me

Give it up, then the warning of neglect

Starts setting in

The dawning of rejection

To the next of kin

Misled affection, loss of direction

Like a loose connection with no protection

Then the feeling of defeat starts setting in

Feelings of deceit to the next of kin

Homemade lies, alibis and underfed love

A love that dies

Give it up

Give it up

Give it up
