Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Giving up, so hard to do
When you still depend upon
Her warm and tender touch
Her kiss and her caress
Ooh, that used to mean so much
And bring you happiness, whoa

Giving up, so hard to do
I've tried, uh uh, but it just ain't no use
Giving up, so hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use
But my light of hope is burning dim
But, but in my heart I pray
That my love and faith in the girl
My love will bring her back someday, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm talking 'bout when you really love someone, yeah

Whether, whether she knows or not
She really needs me too
The little girl is all I got
Yes, she is

And giving, giving up is hard to do, oh
Giving up
So hard to do
Hey, giving up
So very hard to do

I said I've tried
Hey, but I just can't get loose
Woo, giving up
Is so hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
'Cause you mean so much to me
Woo, giving up
