[00:16.51]
[00:18.51]There was a time I was happy in my life
[00:22.98]There was a time I believed I'd live forever
[00:27.45]There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
[00:31.96]There was a time I had a mother
[00:34.56]It was nice
[00:36.37]
[00:45.62]Nobody else would ever take the place of you
[00:50.31]Nobody else could do the things that you could do
[00:54.70]No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
[00:59.24]I didn't understand, I was just a kid
[01:03.30]
[01:03.81]Oh mother, why aren't you here with me
[01:07.98]No one else saw the things that you could see
[01:12.75]I'm trying hard to dry my tears
[01:16.86]Yes father, you know I'm not so free
[01:21.35]I've got to give it up
[01:23.42]Find someone to love me
[01:25.87]I've got to let it go
[01:28.00]Find someone that I can care for
[01:30.08]I've got to give it up
[01:32.46]Find someone to love me
[01:34.79]I've got to let it go
[01:36.98]Find someone that I can care for
[01:39.23]
[01:48.63]There was a time I was happy in my life
[01:53.14]There was a time I believed I'd live forever
[01:57.73]There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
[02:02.22]There was a time I had a mother
[02:04.63]It was nice
[02:06.38]
[02:06.88]Oh mother, why aren't you here with me
[02:10.78]No one else saw the things that you could see
[02:15.73]I'm trying hard to dry my tears
[02:19.96]Yes father, you know I'm not so free
[02:24.36]I've got to give it up
[02:26.48]Find someone to love me
[02:28.82]I've got to let it go
[02:31.01]Find someone that I can care for
[02:33.22]I've got to give it up
[02:35.54]Find someone to love me
[02:37.81]I've got to let it go
[02:40.08]Find someone that I can care for
[02:42.43]My mother died when I was five
[02:44.58]And all I did was sit and cry
[02:46.80]I cried and cried and cried all day
[02:49.02]Until the neighbors went away
[02:51.27]They couldn't take my loneliness
[02:52.59]I couldn't take their phoniness
[02:55.92]My father had to go to work
[02:56.97]I used to think he was a jerk
[02:58.34]
[03:00.26]I didn't know his heart was broken
[03:02.63]And not another word was spoken
[03:04.85]He became a shadow of
[03:07.02]The father I was dreaming of
[03:09.26]I made a vow that I would never need
[03:11.01]Another person ever
[03:11.67]Turned my heart into a cage
[03:12.72]A victim of a kind of rage
[03:14.61]
[03:20.65][03:18.42][03:16.22]I gotta give it up
[03:22.88]I've got to give it up
[03:25.07]Find someone to love me
[03:27.40]I've got to let it go
[03:29.62]Find someone that I can care for
[03:31.82]I've got to give it up
[03:34.13]Find someone to love me
[03:36.35]I've got to let it go
[03:38.66]Find someone that I can care for
[03:40.94]Find someone that I can care for
[03:43.05]Find someone that I can care for
[03:52.31][03:50.58][03:48.95][03:47.34][03:45.45]I've got to give it up
[03:54.37]
[03:58.91]I've got to let it go
[04:01.23]I've got to give it up
[04:03.43]Oh mother, oh father
[04:07.96]I've got to give it up
[04:13.65]
[04:28.24][04:25.96][04:23.69][04:21.46][04:19.19][04:16.94]I gotta give it up
