I Gave It Up (When I Fell in Love)

My friends told me all about it

They said I had to see for myself

But I never really cared much about love

I thought I'd get by without it

Until I found this one girl

She was so fine

I knew she was the one who could change my mind

See, I used to be such a bad bad boy

And good times were my toy for joy

And that was all I was thinking of

But I gave it up when I fell in love

I used to know party people around the world

Not anymore, I gave it up when I found that girl

And she's the one treats me good enough

So I gave it up when I fell in love

Honey, I thought I was justified

To only see the world through my eyes

And that it was a waste of time talkin' 'bout love

But it only took a little time

To make me change my mind

'Cause when she said goodbye

You know, I really thought I'd never stop crying

See, I used to be such a bad, bad boy

And good times were my toy for joy

And that was all I was thinking of

But I gave it up when I fell in love

I used to know party people around the world

But not anymore, I gave it up when I found that girl

And she's the one treats me good enough

So I gave it up when I fell in love

And now every night I dream about you and our new love

All of my friends say I'm such a different guy

And they wonder, hey, yeah yeah, how they wonder

See, she's the one treats me good enough

See, I gave it up when I fell in love

I gave it up (I gave it up)

Ooh wee (Ooh wee)

Sho' did (Sho' did)

Baby, yeah, she's the one treats me good enough

So I gave it up when I fell in love

Honey, hey

I gave it up (I gave it up)

Sho' nuff gave it up (Sho'nuff gave it up)

Yeah yeah, that was all I was thinking of

But I gave it up when I fell in love

I used to know party people around the world

But not anymore, I gave it up when I found that girl

Yeah, and she's the one treats me good enough

So I gave it up when I fell in love

See, I used to be such a bad, bad boy

And good times were my toy for joy

And that was all I was thinking of

But I gave it up when I fell in love

I used to know party people around the world

Not anymore, I gave it up when I found that girl

And she's the one treats me good enough

So I gave it up when I fell in love
