Lyrics Can't Give It Up No More - Gladys Knight & The Pips

Can't Give It Up No More

Well, here you come a callin'
After my heart, you’ve broken
Let me tell you, honey
The door is no longer open
Now you want my love?
But I’m sorry, you’ve been gone too long, yeah
Boy you gave her the best part of your love
And with her, you knew you didn’t belong
I can stand right here, hold my head up high
Stare you right dead in the face
Shout it, shout it to the sky
Hey, hey
Can’t give it up no more
'Cause I’m much too strong, yeah
I don’t need you no more
And I’m glad you’re gone
Oh-oh
Can’t give it up no more
'Cause I’m much too strong
I don’t need you no more
And I’m glad you’re gone
You were once to me
Every little bit of my heart
Now you ??
way up outta me
But I’m sorry 'cause you made us pause
So sorry
I tried to tell you
All the time, that you were wrong
If you can’t stop doing what you did
My feelings wouldn’t last too long
My feeling’s gone
Ain’t no sense in you begging me, honey
No, no, for what I got
Before I let you hurt me again
I let this broken heart rot
Can’t give it up no more
'Cause I’m much too strong
I don’t need you no more
And I’m glad you’re gone
No, no
Can’t give it up no more
'Cause I’m much too strong
I don’t need you no more
And I’m glad you’re gone
Oh, oh
Ooh
Now I do believe that
All my love can be returned
By someone not just thinking of themselves
And who’ll show me just a little concern
So all your sweet talkin' words
Are just a waste of time
'Cause I’ll never take you back again
For I’ve made up my mind
Can’t give it up no more
'Cause I’m much too strong
I don’t need you no more
And I’m glad you’re gone
Can’t give it up no more
'Cause I’m much too strong
I don’t need you no more
And I’m glad you’re gone
