Rick James — Dont Give Up On Love

[Verse 1] When you turn your back on love It's like turning off a light Leaves you in the dark and all alone To deny yourself of feelings It's like looking for a candle In the dark of night when there's a storm [Pre-Chorus] To enslave your inner feelings Of your heart and soul and mind Will cause you just pain In a matter of time And to lock in all emotion 'Cause your heart has just been broken And expect your love to come Then you're wasting your time Girl, you've got to [Chorus] Give your love Give me more than just a minute Put your heart and body in it And give me all your love, baby Give your love Can you make it last forever? Woman, tell me that you'll never leave me in a day No, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Don't give up on love, no, no 'Cause if you do, if you do Love might just give up on you And you'll be lonely, and you'll be lonely [Verse 2] When you tell me love's a game And you'll only play to win And expect my heart to gamble Then you're wrong again When you love just to possess Losing touch on tenderness Then you call yourself a friend Girl, you just pretend [Pre-Chorus] When you're makin' love to me at night And something there just isn't right When the love makin' is through I wanna talk to you When we talk of love as the bottom line Between two sheets when the love is fine And then out of bed Can't relate from the head Girl, you know that ain't right [Chorus] Give your love Give me more than just a minute Put your heart and body in it And give me all your love, baby Give your love Can you make it last forever? Woman, tell me that you'll never leave me in a day No, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Don't give up on love, no no, no no If you do, if you do Love might just give up on you And you'll find that your life will be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Don't give up on love, no, no, no, no, no, oh Well, well well, oh no no Don't give up on love, no, no, no, no no, no No, no, oh oh oh, baby [Spoken] Listen baby, listen to me Oh, I guess you'll probably think I'm just another one of those kind of guys Who just wanna make love to you for the price of a line Oh, I can see in your eyes you've been hurt by love before And the last thing I wanna do is hurt you anymore And before the bed becomes our final destination Let me just give you one more explanation The love's broken heart has made you cry Don't be afraid, girl [Outro] Don't give up on love, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no Don't give up on love Don't give up on love
