Tanita Tikaram Got to Give You Up song lyrics

I've got to give you up, oh

I've got to swear you off

I'm missing my people

I'm hanging the sign

With too much forgiveness, baby

But I hear your voice

And it sweetens mine

I've got to cool my head

You should have heard the sound

There so many rumours

They're chasing my tail

I'm almost forgotten myself

But I walked till noon

Just to find your trail

Time on my own

Believe I, believe I, I could use you

Time on my own

Believe I'd love the company

Time on my own

Believe I, believe I, I could use you

Time on my own

Believe I'd learn to love you

I've got to give you up, oh

You watch me walking off

Just like the film noir movies

I'm the girl that sinned

My hide is up for the sky

I just wait till dawn till the storm bell rings

Ring, ring, ring

Oh, Lord

She laid me low
