[Verse 1: Patrice Rushen + DJ Rogers + Both]
Looks like something's going wrong
(Something's going wrong)
Seems we've been apart too long
(We've been apart too long)
I don't wanna lose your love, makes me happy
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, I was wrong and now I see
I can't let you go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2: Patrice Rushen + DJ Rogers + Both]
Looks like something's going wrong
(Baby, we've got to make it better, work it out together)
Seems like we've been apart too long
(Baby, you know it's now or never)
(We've been moving apart too long, too long, too long)
Hmm, got to have you next to me, makes me happy
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh whoa ooh whoa whoa)
'Cause your love's a part of me, can't let you go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Mmm, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus: Patrice Rushen + DJ Rogers + Both]
Givin' it up is givin' up (Yes, it is)
Givin' it up is givin' up (Givin' up is givin' up)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (If you give up...)
Givin' it up is givin' up (...you might as well give in)
Givin' it up is givin' up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3: Patrice Rushen + DJ Rogers + Both]
Looks like something's going wrong
(In sunshine or stormy weather, I'll love you forever)
Seems we've been apart too long
(Baby, you know it's now or never)
(Too long, too long)
Oh, I don't wanna lose your love (No, no, no, no)
Makes me happy
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Hey, hey, hey, yeah yeah
I was wrong and now I see, can't let you go)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Outro: Patrice Rushen + DJ Rogers + Both]
Givin' it up is givin' up (Yes it is)
Givin' it up is givin' up (Givin' it up)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' it up is givin' up (Yes, it is)
Givin' it up is givin' up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(If you give up, you might as well give in, oh, oh)
(Sing it, DJ)
Givin' it up is givin' up
Givin' it up is givin' up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' it up is givin' up (Don't you give up, give up)
Givin' it up is givin' up (Don't give in on me, no, no, no)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' it up is givin' up
Givin' it up is givin' up (Givin' it up is givin' up)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' it up is givin' up
Givin' it up is givin' up
(I don't want you to give up on me) (I won't)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Givin' it up is givin' up
Givin' it up is givin' up
Givin' it up is givin' up
Givin' it up is givin' up
