Give it Up Lyrics

[Chorus]
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants your love
I'd just like to make you mine, oh mine
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

[Verse 2]
Everybody sees you
Everybody looks and stares
I'd just like to make you mine, oh mine
[Chorus]
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

[Rap verse]
You're like a lively rhythm
Like a rhythm alive
Like a trouble maker working from 9 to 5
Like an attorney, you're working to earn
After the court has been adjourned

I've got a lot to learn
I'm manic, static
Music addict, but still I'm at it
If only you'd discover the school time fanatic
Give it up, give, give, give it up
If only we're together we can reach the top

[Verse 3]
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants your love
I just like to make you mine, oh mine
Mine
[Chorus]
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up

Can you give it, can you give it
Give it up, come on baby
I need your love

Give it up some of your love
Come on and play the game of love
Everybody is in need
Give it up
Come on baby, I need your love
Can I touch, can I love you
Come on baby, baby I love you

[Chorus]
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up, baby, give it up
