about

Has anyone been strung along by a lover? I watched a friend of mine repeatedly try to break away from a partner who kept promising she'd leave her husband. That inspired this song. Then it led to thinking about other kinds of power trips.

lyrics

GAVE IT AWAY words and music © Rosemary Schonfeld

Don’t give it away
Don’t give it away
Away

He said he’d leave his wife
Oh yes he would
He said he’d leave here
Just as soon as he could
Fifteen years later
He still says the same
Am I the only one
Who’s on to his game?

But she gave it away
Gave it away
He took all those years
And he didn’t even ask

They took all that money
When she trusted them
She thought she wouldn’t have to
Mention it again
They said, “You’re uptight.
What is wrong with you?”
They had her marked
For their convenient fool

But she gave it away
Gave it away
They took all that money
And they didn’t even ask

He said, “I want to love you
Honey tonight
Sure I’ll call you up tomorrow night.
I’m up there with my band
and I’m feeling hot.
I can assure you
You’re the one that I want”.
Tomorrow comes
He’s out of sight
She was another one
To brighten up his night

But she gave it away
Gave it away
He took all that loving
And he didn’t even ask
Didn’t even ask
But she gave it away
Gave it away

Don’t give it away
Don’t give it away
