if you can t give her love

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
