There was a time I was happy in my life
There was time I believed I`d live forever
There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother it was nice
Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Nobody else could do the things that you could do
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
I didn`t understand I was just a kid
Oh mother why aren`t you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
I`m trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father you know I`m not so free
I got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
There was a time I was happy in my life
There was time I believed I`d live forever
There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother it was nice
Oh mother why aren`t you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
I`m trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father you know I`m not so free
I got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
My mother died when I was five
And all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Until the neighbours went away
They couldn`t take my loneliness
I couldn`t take their phoniness
My father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk
I didn`t know his heart was broken
And not another word was spoken
He became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of
I made a vow that
I would never need another person ever
Turned my heart into
a cage a victim of a kind of rage
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I`ve got to give it up
I`ve got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I`ve got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
Find someone that I can care for
Find someone that I can care for
I got to give it up
I got to give it up
I got to give it up
I got to give it up
I got to give it up
I got to give it up
I got to let it go
I got to give it up
Oh mother
Oh father
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
I gotta give it up
