Don’t Give It Away Songtext
von Syl Johnson

Two, one

If you know somebody, you wanna suck it to him
Let me tell you, what I want you to do right now
If you know somebody, you wanna suck it to him
Let me tell you, what I want you to do now

Baby, you gotta be where I′m at
'Cause romance without finance won′t get you nowhere
Don't give it away
Don't give it away baby
Don′t give that thang away
Don′t give it away

Listen to me now
I ain't gon′ tell you wrong
Get yourself some money honey
And leave those other guys alone

You better listen to me girl
I ain't gonna tell you wrong now
Get yourself some money honey
And leave those other guys alone


Baby, beware now
′Cause romance without finance won't get you nowhere
Don′t give it away
Don't give it away baby
Don't give it away honey
Don′t give it away

Believe in me baby
Watch what I say right now
Take care of your own business
Make ′em all pay

You better watch me baby
Believe what I say right now
Take care of your business honey
Make those other men pay

Baby, you better beware now
'Cause romance without finance won′t get you nowhere
Don't give it away baby
Don′t give it away right now

Oh don't give it away mama
Yeah, yeah, don′t give up baby
Don't give it away
Don't give it away yeah
Ooh, baby
Ooh, baby, don′t give it away now
Don′t give my thang away
