Give It Up to Love

Staring at the river The river oh so deep Praying to the Lord My soul to keep Trying to hang on I don't wanna throw it away I didn't want to leave But you didn't want to stay Give it up to love Let love have its way Love lead me on To a brighter day Sitting here thinking With my head in my hands I don't want to do wrong I just want to be a man I see the sun when it rise And I see it when it sets Staring down lonesome road girl But I don't see you yet, woo Lord Give it up to love Let love have its way Love lead me on To a brighter day Come on We must move on Wherever the road might lead Sometimes we may cry We may fall down to our knees But keep your mind wide open And pray every now and then Open up your heart And let love be your friend I don't want to do no wrong, Lord But it's kind of hard to do what's right Trying, trying to hold on, my Lord Lord, I'm trying to stand up like a man And I know I know I'm tired Woo but I'm trying to do the best that I can And I don't mean and I don't to be crying Woo I just need I just need a helping hand "Somebody ought to help me right now" Give it up to love Let love have its way Love lead me on To a brighter day "I heard him say" Give it up to love Let love have its way Love lead me on To a brighter day "Everybody say" Give it up to love Let love have its way Love lead me on To a brighter day "Everybody say" Give it up to love Let love have its way Love lead me on To a brighter day, Lord
