Give Me Love, Give Me Life Songtext
von Roger Hodgson

It′s feeling like it's time to ring the changes
It′s feeling like it's time to be reborn
'Cause here we go again, proclaiming it′s the end
And reaching out for something to bring it back again

We′re living on good fortune
We're cheating all our friends
So tell me, oh, tell me, now, where′s it going to end?

I hope it's not too late to see the danger
I′d really like to wake and see the dawn
'Cause here we go again, we′re trying to pretend
We're blaming one another for what is ours to mend

We're fighting for the future
We′re ringin′ out the past
It feels good, it feels good, but is it gonna last?


Give me love, give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope, give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life, give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time, give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope

Oh, give me reason to hope
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me hope
Give me hope, give me hope
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, give me hope

'Cause everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is just upside, upside-down
Well, everything is not like you′d like it to be

And everything is a two-bit, two-bit town
And everybody's just out to drag you down
Well, nothing is as you′d like it, like it to be
Like it to be

Well, everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is just upside, upside-down
Well, nothing is as we'd like it, like it to be

And wverything is a two-bit, two-bit town
And everybody′s just out to drag you down
Well, nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be
Like it to be
Like it to be


I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking ′bout you
I may not love you, but I can′t stop thinking 'bout you
I may not love you, but I can′t stop thinking 'bout you
I may not love you, but I can′t stop

I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking ′bout you
I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking 'bout you
I may not love you, but I can′t stop thinking ′bout you
I may not love you, but I can't stop

Give me love, give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope, give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life, give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time, give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope
Give me reason to hope

I see just what I want to see
Just what I want to be
I can be anytime, anyplace, anywhere

I go just where I want to go
Just when I want to know
I can go anytime, anyplace, anywhere

Things just ain′t what they used to be
Ain't what they ought to be
Ain′t what they've got to be
Gonna be probably

Things just ain′t gonna get to me
Ain't gonna bother me
Ain't gonna worry me, hurry me, let it be

Give me love, give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope, give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life, give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time, give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope
Oh, give me life
