You come home late at night,
You tell me it's all right,
But something must be wrong.
I wanna hold you close,
But your reaction shows,
You keep me hanging on.
I'm tired of all your lies,
Your silly alibis,
Don't wanna play that game.
If you don't know the rules,
I'll send you back to school,
You put a man to shame.
Give it up, give it up,
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop.
I know I'm not the only one, only one,
Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one.
Give it up, give it up,
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop,
'Cause I know you bring me down, bring me down,
The lover of my life.
What happened to our plans?
We've got a one night stand,
You'd better let it be.
If there's another man,
I'll do the best I can
To bring you back to me.
[3x:]
Give it up, give it up,
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop.
I know I'm not the only one, only one,
Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one.
Give it up, give it up,
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop,
'Cause I know you bring me down, bring me down,
The lover of my life.
