if you can t give her love give her up

Bobby Womack

Haahh Hahh (Bobby laughs)

You gotta learn today to look at things right on -- OOhh yeah (chorus sings)
Black is Black, White is White, that s a proven fact
And even goes the same -- when it comes down to a woman
The greatest gift god could give man, Me and You
Y all can understand where I m comin from
You ve got somebody that you love -- I don t believe in playin hard to get
For somebody you might already have -- Listen to Me

(Chorus) OOhh
You gotta stop fussin over the ladies
Beatin em and mistreatin em
And leaving them with a baby

Ya gotta start them right
Huggin and lovin and bein real nice

Although at times -- they be tempting
And sometimes they get ya old and grey
But a woman was made to love
One change in this sound like a sleigh
What I m tryin to say, Yaall

If you can t give her love
Give her up
And If You can t give her up -- make up your mind -- Oh
Give her up -- or give her her freedom

I don t mean that a woman run wild
And get a job every once in a while -- OOhh
Don t get up -- get her up at home
Cause you don t want to hurt just leave her alone

There s a lot of men -- I don t know
That would like to be your
Who would accept a ready made family
And be the things for ya woman that you should be doing

Heeyy, Heeyy

If you can t give her love
Give her up
And If You can t give her up -- make up your mind -- Oh
Give her up -- or give her her freedom

Ohh, Baby -- My, My My, My, My ba-by
