I gave up all I had Everything that made me glad I gave up all I had, for this, oh no I gave up all I had All the good things that made me glad I gave up all I had, for you, oh no She was good, did what she knew she should She never ran out on me, I don't believe she could But all you do is hurt me, just like she said she would I'd go back to my baby, if I just thought I could I gave up all I had All the good things that made me glad I gave up all I had, for you, oh no I walk the street all night, longing to hold her tight Wanted to hear her tell me, that everything's alright But you won't let me go, you follow behind me still Why don't you leave me alone, and let me do what I will? I gave up all I had All the good things that made me glad I gave up all I had, for you, oh no She had four beautiful children, and they were nice to me They loved and respect poor me, but I had to earn that love They didn't have no daddy, when I first met the girl I took them under my wings, that's when we fell in love I gave up all I had All the good things that made me glad I gave up all I had, for you, oh no I gave up all I had All the good things that made me glad I gave up all I had, for you, oh no
