Give Him Up - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

Give him up

Give him up 'cause, he’ll only hurt you (he'll only hurt you)

Take your love like he did mine

Then he’ll desert you

He’ll leave your heart in pain

Lead you to go insane, he’s unfaithful

You can do everything you can for him

And still he’ll leave 'cause he’s ungrateful

How I can convince you, that he’ll leave on the shelf

And that he’ll never love anybody

He will never love anybody

He will never love anybody

But himself

So-o give him, oh please give him 'cause

He just won’t do right

Let him go, you got to let him go

'Cause he won’t treat you right

You’ll go to him one day

And he’ll turn and walk away

He’s untrue

On second thought, oh don’t give him up

'Cause I know I’ll take him back whenever you do

(I'll take him back whenever you give him up)

Even though he’s done me wrong

(I'll take him back whenever you give him up)

I loved him oh too long
