Don't Give Up On Love - Rick James

When you turn your back on love

It’s like turnin' off the light

You’re in the dark and you’re all alone

To deny yourself of feeling

It’s like looking for a candle

In the dark of night when there’s a storm

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

Give your love

Give me more than just a minute

Put your heart and body in it

And give me all your love

Give your love

Make it last forever

Tell me that you’ll never leave me in a day

Don’t give up on love

'Cause if you do, if you do,

Love might just give up on you and you’ll find

That your life will be lonely, lonely

When you tell me love’s a game

And you 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,

Then you just pretend

When you’re makin' love to me at night

And something there just isn’t right

When the lovemakin' is through,

I wanna talk to you

When we talk of love as the bottom line

Between two sheets when the love is fine

Then when out of bed

Can’t relate from the head

Give your love

Give me more than just a minute

Put your heart and body in it

And give me all your love

Give your love

Make it last forever

Tell me that you’ll never leave me in a day

Don’t give up on love, no, no

If you do, if you do,

Love just might give up on you

Don’t give up on love
