Give It Up (Turn It Loose)

                                  You better turn it loose

You better turn it loose



I went downtown the other day

And I heard a woman say

I do all I can for that man

At home, he still won't stay



I could tell the way

That woman spoke

Her heart was truly broke



She said, if a man

Can't treat his woman right

Give her good loving day and night

He sure oughta



(CHORUS)

Give it up, turn it loose

(Turn it up loose)

Give it up, turn it loose

(Turn it up loose)



You need your man

To be satisfied

But he tells you no

With no reason why



You will finally find out for yourself

There ain't no love between

The two of you left



(CHORUS)



When you try as hard as you can

To do what you think is right

And still, you get that

Same old cold shoulder

Ooh, that same old shoulder

Late at night, late at night



Here's what you do

(CHORUS)



When you've done all you can do

GIve it up

When you see it just ain't no use

Turn it loose



Way lay at night

When you're laying down

And you need some hugging

And no one's around



You'll walk around all day long

With love on your mind

You're thinking about the love

That you just get sometime



(CHORUS)



When you have someone

Sitting there by your side

And ain't no company at all

All you need is a little loving touch

And when you don't get it

It hurts you so much



(CHORUS)



Give it up, give it up

Give it up, baby, turn it loose
