Got to Give It Up — текст песни (Thin Lizzy)

Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff

Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff



Tell my mama and tell my pa

That their fine young son didnt get far

He made it to the end of a bottle

Sitting in a sleazy bar



He tried hard but his spirit broke

He tried until he nearly choked

In the end he lost his

Bottle drinking alcohol



Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff

Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff



Tell my brother I tried to write and

Put pen to paper but I was frightened

I couldnt seem to get the words out right

Right quite right



Tell my sister Im sinking slow

Now and again I powder my nose

In the end I lost my bottle

It smashed in a casbah



Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff

Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff



Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff

Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff



Ive been messing with the heavy stuff

For a time I couldnt get enough

But Im waking up and its wearing off

Junk dont take you far



Tell my mama Im coming home

In my youth Im getting older

And I think its lost control

Mama Im coming home



Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff

Ive got to give it up Ive got to give it up

That stuff
