Got to Give It Up Lyrics[Intro]
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up
That stuff
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up
That stuff

[Verse 1]
Tell my mama and tell my pa
That their fine young son didn't get far
He made it to the end of a bottle
Sitting in a sleazy bar
He tried hard but his spirit broke
He tried until he nearly choked
In the end he lost his bottle drinking alcohol

[Chorus]
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up
That stuff
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up
That stuff

[Verse 2]
Tell my brother I tried to write and
Put pen to paper but I was frightened
I couldn't seem to get the words out right
Right quite right

Tell my sister I'm sinking slow
Now and again I powder my nose
In the end I lost my bottle
It smashed in a casbah

[Chorus x2]

I've been messing with the heavy stuff
For a time I couldn't get enough
But I'm waking up and it's wearing off
Junk don't take you far
Tell my Mama I'm coming home
And in my youth I'm getting old
And I think it's lost control
Mama I'm coming home

[Outro Chorus]
