It is my theory, the two of us are somewhat leery About the happiness we both set out to pose as I've got all the comforts of life, a few kids and you are my wife And to tell it like it is, I must confess I'm gonna have to give it up I'm gonna have to give it up I'm more concerned than the truth That never happened with us The warmth of embraces and the love of our faces It never happened, you see And I'm so sorry I really truly love you And the kids, you must agree I never had too much concern or interest in astrology But as I read it must be so The invulnerable world incompatible No matter how much we try, our indifference would still show Now we've got to give it up I'm gonna have to give it up I'm more concerned than the truth That never happened with us The warmth of embraces and the love of our faces It never happened, you see And I'm so sorry Now we've got to give it up Ooh, child, I've got to give it up Lord have mercy Now I've got to give it up Ooh, I've got to give it up Oh, concerned than the truth That never happened with us The warmth of embraces and the love of our faces It never happened, you see And I'm so sorry But now we've got to give it up What am I to do? Child, we've got to give it up I'll be so lonely without you But now I've got to give it up Lord forgive me I've got to give it up Now I've got to give it up Now I've got to give it up
