Rick James - Don't Give Up On Love lyrics

When you turn your back on love It's like turnin' off the light You're in the dark and you're all alone To deny yourself of feeling It's like looking for a candle In the dark of night when there's a storm To enslave your inner feelings Of your heart and soul and mind Will cause you just pain In a matter of time And to lock in all emotion 'Cause your heart has just been broken And expect your love to come Then you're wasting your time Give your love Give me more than just a minute Put your heart and body in it And give me all your love Give your love Make it last forever Tell me that you'll never leave me in a day Don't give up on love 'Cause if you do, if you do Love might just give up on you and you'll find That your life will be lonely, lonely When you tell me love's a game And you only play to win And expect my heart to gamble Then you're wrong again When you love just to possess Losing touch on tenderness Then you call yourself a friend Then you just pretend When you're makin' love to me at night And something there just isn't right When the lovemakin' is through I wanna talk to you When we talk of love as the bottom line Between two sheets when the love is fine Then when out of bed Can't relate from the head Give your love Give me more than just a minute Put your heart and body in it And give me all your love Give your love Make it last forever Tell me that you'll never leave me in a day Don't give up on love, no, no If you do, if you do Love just might give up on you Don't give up on love
