Curtis Mayfield - Give It Up [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It is my theory
The two of us are somewhat leery
About the happiness
We both set out to posses
We've got all the comforts of life
A few kids and you are my wife
And I tell it like it is
I must confess

[Hook]
I'm gonna have to give it up
I'm gonna have to give it up

[Verse 2]
Oh, concern and the trust
that never happened with us
The walk of embraces
and the love of our faces
It never happened you see
and I'm so sorry

I really truly love you, and the kids you must agree
And I never had too much concern or interest in astrology

But as I read it must be so, the invulnerable word incompatible
No matter how much we try, our indifference but still show

[Hook]
Now we've got give it up
I'm gonna have to give it up

[Verse 3]
Oh, concern and the trust
that never happened with us
The walk of embraces
and the love of our faces
It never happened you see
and I'm so sorry

[Hook]
Now we've got give it up
(Ooh, child)
I've got to have to give it up
(Lord, have mercy)
Now I've got give it up
I've got to give it up

[Verse 4]
Oh, concern and the trust
that never happened with us
The walk of embraces
and the love of our faces
It never happened you see
and I'm so sorry

[Hook]
But now we've got to give it up
(What am I to do?)
Child, we've got to give it up
(I'll be so lonely without you
But now I've got to give it up
(Lord, forgive me)
I've got to give it up
Now I've got to give it up
Lord, I have to give it up
