Giving Something Up (Album Version)

《Giving Something Up》
Artist：Amel Larrieux
． ． ． ．
'76 when a man told his wife baby doll, sorry I can't stay
left with 5 kids she was forced to become superwoman
and go earn some pay
a college educated girl
washing dishes in a man's world
now what good is a degree
when you got mouths to feed

she is that girl maybe you know, maybe you've been, maybe you are today
insert your year where the year is if to this story you can relate

giving somethin' up
we always giving something up （we are giving something up）
we always giving something up （we are giving something up）
we always giving something up
（we are giving something up）
we always giving something up
we always giving something up

'97 a mother has no choice but to go find work and leave her kids alone

far from heaven so she's gone
5 days out the week to bring a piece home
her man is off somewhere up some dress
bringin' her back some other woman's sickness
her baby girl is crying, mama please,
when you're gone the neighbor's chasing me

around the world from Pakistan down to Soweto back to New York City
insert your year where the year is if to this story you can relate

giving somethin' up
we always giving something up
（we are giving something up）
we always giving something up
（we are giving something up）
always giving something up
（giving something up）
we always giving something up

Giving, trying, self-relying
（giving） Feeling ．teaching ．always preaching
（giving） Dreaming ．losing, ．being abused and
（giving） Dying ．crying ．sacrificing
（giving） Hurting ．being told we're worthless
（giving） Birthing ．buried alive in the earth and
（giving） Hoping, mending, spirits broken
（giving） Flying and somehow surviving

Oooh
giving somethin' up
we always giving something up
we are giving something up
we always giving something up
dododo... we are.. are... we are...giving something up
we always giving something up
we are giving something up
we always giving something up
．we are．
we are giving something up ．．．．
ba ba ba ba
we are giving something up
always giving something up
．we are．
we always giving something up always giving something up
giving giving giving up always giving something up ． ． ．
we always ． ． ．
giving something up ． ．
giving something up we are giving something up． ． ．
．we always giving ．we always giving ．we always giving ． ． ． ．
．always giving ．always giving ．always giving ． ． ． ．
