Can't Give It Up No More

(album: Neither One Of Us - 1973)

Well, here you come calling
After my heart you've broken
Let me tell you honey
The door is no longer open

Now you want my love
But I'm sorry you've been gone too long
For you gave her the best part of your love
Then with her you know you didn't belong
(I didn't belong)

I can stand back here (I can stand here)
Hold my head up high (I can stand, I can stand here)
Stare you right dead in the face
Shout it, shout it to the sky

Can't give it up no more
'Cause I'm much too strong, yeah
I don't need you no more
Now I'm glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad)
Oh no no

Can't give it up no more
'Cause I'm much too strong, yeah
I don't need you no more
Now I'm glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad)
Oh no no

You were once to me
Every little beat of my heart
(Every beat of my heart)
Now you feel that way about me
But I'm sorry cause you made us pass
(So sorry yeah)

I've tried to tell you
(Tried to tell you)
All the time, that you were wrong
(Tried to tell, tried to tell you)
And you forget, doing what you did
But feel it wouldn't last too long
(Oh the feeling is gone)

Ain't no sense in you begging me honey
(Don't beg me) No no for what I got
Before I'd let you hurt me again
I left this broken heart right there

Can't give it up no more
'Cause I'm much too strong, yeah
I don't need you no more
Now I'm glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad)
Oh no no

Can't give it up no more
'Cause I'm much too strong, yeah
I don't need you no more
Now I'm glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad)
Oh no no

Now I do believe (I believe it)
That all my love can be returned
(I believe, I believe it)
That someone not just thinking of themselves
And who'll show me just a little concern
So all your sweet talking words
Are just a waste of time (Just a waste of time)
'Cause I'd never take you back again
For I'm better by my own

Can't give it up no more
'Cause I'm much too strong, yeah
I don't need you no more
Now I'm glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad)
Oh no no

Can't give it up no more
'Cause I'm much too strong, yeah
I don't need you no more
Now I'm glad your gone (Too bad, too bad, too bad)
Oh no no
