I Got to Give It Up
things work out right, go by
Things on my mind,
and I just don't have the time,
and it don't seem right
Ain't seen a day,
that I don't hear people say,
they know they're gonna die
This may seem a little bit crazy,
but I don't think we should be so lazy
If you think you've heard this before,
well, stick around I'm gonna tell you more
One just like the other,
sin's a good man's brother, but is that right
You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might
You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don'
You Can Make The Story Right
It's five a.m. when you walk in
This is where your story begins
You say you've been out with the fellas
But the perfume tells me where you've been
Well I knew for sure, when you walked through the door
You had another lover
I read the signs, but I tried to hide
All the pain I felt inside
You can make the story right
I believe what you say though you tell me lies
You can make the story right
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you, oh...
Same old song, same old story
You keep telling me lies
You think I don't mind that you're unfaithful
But you never see the tears I cry
You've been letting me down, but I can't give you up
I don't wanna let you go
We've spent so much time, trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we have
(You can make the story right)
You can make the story right
(I believe what you say, though you tell me lies)
I believe what you tell me
(You can make the story right)
Oh, oh...
It's a fact to me, but it's fiction to you
You've been lettin' me down, but I can't give you up
Don't want another lover
We've spent so much time trying to make it right
I don't wanna loose the love we had
