CHORUS: HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3x)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?
HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3X)


HEY BOY, YOU SAY THAT YOU’VE GOT LOVE ON YOUR MIND
AIN’T THAT SPECIAL YEAH, 2 BAD YOU’RE ONLY WASTING YOUR TIME
SEE LOVE’S NOT A GAME THAT CHA PLAY AIN’T NO ONE EVER TOLD CHA?
OOO, AIN’T THEY TOLD CHA? AIN’T THEY TOLD CHA?
SO WHY WOULD I GO ALL THE WAY WHEN I DON’T HARDLY KNOW YA?
OOO, WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?

HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3x)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?
HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3X)


HEY BOY, YOU SAY YOU’RE ONLY BEING A MAN
IT’S EXPECTED YEAH, FOR YOU 2 TRY 2 GET ALL YOU CAN
BUT LOVE’S ON THE LINE AND IT SAYS SLOW IT DOWN OR YOU’LL BLOW IT, OOO YES, YOU’LL BLOW IT, YOU’LL BLOW IT
IN THESE CRAZY TIMES WHY THE RUSH THAT AIN’T COOL & YA KNOW IT
OOO WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?

HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3x)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?
HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3X)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?

MUSIC

WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?


HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3x)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?
HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3X)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?

HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3x)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?
HEY BABY, WHY GIVE IT UP? (3X)
WHY MUST I GIVE IT UP?
