Give Away None of My Love - Otis Redding, Jimmy Douglass

For just as long as I live

Listen

To you, my love, I’m gon' give ya

Listen

And you won’t have to care for no heaven low

No, you won’t, nah

But as long as, ah you don’t freak out

And lil' girl, you know what I’m talking 'bout

I don’t want you to give 'way none of my good lovin'

Don’t want you to just give 'way none of my good love, nah

Listen!

Uh

Boys gon' come and try to take you out

But tell 'em

That you don’t need no standby

Then tell 'em

That ain’t nobody gon' just get no love

But me

Uh, only me, now

Dig this, uh

But as long as you go downtown

All the fellas, they gon' be standing around

But, ah you cannot just give 'way none of my good lovin'

I don’t want you to give 'way none of my good lovin'

Uh, dig this

Freeze me

Ah, don’t give me no tubber

Just please me

Let that be two to one another

And ease me

Don’t you give me no pain, uh

You got enough love

To drive one man insane, yeah

When I’m spending some

Listen

Everyday I make love to my baby

And I’m gonna love the speeding pain

Till the day I die

Uh, yes I am, now

Listen

Fall will be picking up leaves

Fast as the wind be blowin' on a mocking tree

But you better not just give 'way none of my good lovin'

I don’t want you to give 'way none of my g' lovin'

Oh, God!

You better not give 'way nothin'

Don’t want you to give 'way nothin'

You better not give 'way nothin'

None of my good love, love, love

No, don’t give 'way nothin'

You better not give 'way nothin'

Please, don’t give 'way nothin'

None of my good, oh lovin' mama

Ooh, don’t give 'way nothin'

Don’t want you to give 'way nothin'

Please, don’t give 'way nothin'

All day long, I said

Mama, just don’t give 'way nothin'

Ooh, y-

Just save it

Oh, just don’t give 'way nothin'
