You come home late at night
   You tell me it's all right
   But something must be wrong
   I wanna hold you close
   But your reaction shows
   You keep me hanging on
  
   I'm tired of all your lies
   Your silly alibies
   Don't wanna play that game
   If you don't know the rules
   I'll send you back to school
   You put a man to shame
  
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   I know I'm not the only one, only one
   Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
   The lover of my life
  
   What happened to our plans
   We've got a one night stand
   You'd better let it be
   If there's another man
   I'll do the best I can
   To bring you back to me
  
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   I know I'm not the only one, only one
   Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
   The lover of my life
  
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   I know I'm not the only one, only one
   Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
   The lover of my life
  
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   I know I'm not the only one, only one
   Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one
   Give it up, give it up
   I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
   'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
   The lover of my life
