You came into my life when I was down
Whipped me up and turned me upside down
But now your cheating ways are getting old
It’s time to change but you won’t let go
You say that I can’t live without you
But Babe, your time has come
It’s time to go, it’s time to run

(chorus)
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Let me be, Baby
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Set me free

You play your games with me
But Baby now I see that your talk is cheap
You think I can’t go on without your sweet, sweet song
But I need a new melody
You say that I can’t live without you
But Babe, your time has come
It’s time to go, it’s time to run

(chorus)

Cause you’re always telling me lies
I can’t believe all your alibis
Well the time has come to let you go
You got to give it up, and let me go

Well you done me wrong, oh, so bad
You think your loving is the best I’ve ever had
But Babe you got it wrong, I can’t go on
I need your loving like a hole in my head
You say that I can’t live without you
But Babe your time has come
It’s time to go, it’s time to run

(chorus)
