Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what you do to me
But this feeling is new to me
I hope it's love and one day we'll see the moon
[Verse 2]
Take my hand and we'll fly away
A love so new till the dyin' day
A life so true, all you have to say is you will
[Verse 3]
You've got to believe in somethin'
You've got to believe in
Give it up, give it up
My love is true now
Say me and you now
Give it up, give it up
[Verse 4]
Just say the word
And I'm screamin' out your name
So make it true, to make it us
Just give me half a chance
[Verse 5]
I need your love
Hope it's me you're thinkin' of
A love to give, I can't live
Just give me half a chance
[Verse 6]
I don't know what you do to me
But this feeling is new to me
Just say that you'll be givin' me your love
All you've got to do is
[Verse 7]
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, ah
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, oh
[Verse 8]
You've got to believe in something
You've got to believe me
Give it up, give it up
My love is true now
Say me and you now
Give it up, give it up
[Verse 9]
Just say the word
And I'm screamin' out your name
So make it true, to make it us
Just give me half a chance
I need your love
Hope it's me you're thinkin' of
A love to give, I can't live
Just give me half a chance
[Verse 10]
I don't know what you do to me
But this feeling is new to me
Just say that you'll be givin' me your love
All you got to do is
[Verse 11]
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, ah
Give it up, give it up, oh, oh ooh
Give it up, give it up, ah, ooh
(Give it up, give it up) Give up your love
(Give it up, give it up) All night and day
(Give it up, give it up) Love me this time, baby
(Give it up, give it up) Don't let this end
