Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Giving up is hard to do
When you still depend upon
His warm and tender touch
His kiss and his caress
That used to mean so much
And bring you happiness

(Giving up)
Oh, Lord, is hard to do
I've tried, but it's just no use
(Giving up)
Whoa, Lord, it's hard to do
I've tried, but I kept recluse

The light of hope burns dim
But in my heart I pray
My love, my love, my love and faith in him
Will bring him back someday

(Giving up)
But it's just no use
(Giving up)
No, I can't break loose

Whether he knows or not
He really needs me too
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, he's all I've got
And giving up is so hard to do

(Giving up)
Oh, yes, it is
(Giving up)
Is so hard to do
(Giving up)
Oh, yes, it is
(Giving up)
I just can't break loose
(Giving up)
No, no, no, no
(Giving up)
I just can't break loose
(Giving up)
No, no, no, no
(Giving up)
Hey, hey, hey...
