Lyrics If You Can't Give Her Love, Give Her Up - Bobby Womack

If You Can't Give Her Love, Give Her Up

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) OOOOHHHH
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, Yaalll
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 -- OOOOHHH
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 --
Heeeyyyy, Heeyyyy
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
Ohhh, Baby -- My, My My, My, My ba-by
