Something’s Got to Give Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Hey!) You know that time never sleeps
Keep one eye open like
I've got my head full of dreams
All shattered and broken like

[Pre-Chorus]
Never chose love, it chose me
But I'm still here makin' stones bleed
So I'll go on swimming upstream
'Til I come tumbling down

[Chorus]
Oh, when the workin' don't pay
Oh, when you're living on faith
Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Oh, when you're giving your all
Oh, when it's coming up short
Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Gotta give a little more, woah, yes
When the going gets tough
Gotta give a little more, woah, yes
In the name of the Father
(Something's got to give, something)
[Verse 2]
Hey, I've been caught in the red (Hey)
Needing the breath of life
But I came back from the dead (Hey)
Diamond-like, golden-like

[Pre-Chorus]
Never chose love (Never chose love), it chose me (Ooh-oh)
But I keep burning endlessly, so
Go tell them angels I'm blessed (Go, go tell 'em)
There ain't no takin' me down

[Chorus]
Oh, when the workin' don't pay
Oh, when you're living on faith
Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Oh, when you're giving your all
Oh, when it's coming up short
Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Gotta give a little more, woah, yes (Give)
When the going gets tough
Gotta give a little more, woah, yes
In the name of the Father
(Something's got to give, something)
Give a little more, woah, yes (Woah, yes)
When the going gets tough
Gotta give a little more, woah, yes
When the going gets tough, gotta —
[Bridge]
Usually I wouldn't do this, but, ah
Say it (Woo-hoo)
We made it
Say, I love it when a plan comes together
Baby, say it (Woo-hoo)
We made it
I said I love it when a plan comes together, hey
Say it (Woo-hoo)
We made it (Yeah)
Hey, I love it when a plan comes together
Baby, say it (Woo hoo)
We've made it
Said I love it when a plan comes together, hey

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
