《Giving Something Up》歌词

[00:00:01] Giving Something Up - Amel Larrieux

[00:00:13] '76 when a man

[00:00:14] Told his wife 'baby doll sorry i can't stay'

[00:00:18] Left with 5 kids she was forced to become

[00:00:20] Superwoman and go earn some pay

[00:00:22] A college-educated girl

[00:00:25] Washing dishes in a man's world

[00:00:27] Now what good is a degree

[00:00:30] When you've got mouths to feed

[00:00:32] She is that girl maybe you know her

[00:00:35] Maybe you've been maybe you are today

[00:00:37] Insert your year where the year is

[00:00:39] If to this story you can relate

[00:00:42] Giving something up

[00:00:43] We're always giving something up

[00:00:46] We are giving somethin up

[00:00:48] We're always giving something up

[00:00:50] We are giving something up

[00:00:53] We're always giving something up

[00:00:55] We are giving something up

[00:00:58] We're always giving something

[00:00:59] We're always giving something up

[00:01:02] '97 a mother has no choice

[00:01:04] But to go find work and leave her kids alone

[00:01:06] Far from heaven so she's gone

[00:01:08] 5 days out the week to bring a piece home

[00:01:12] Her man is off somewhere up some dress

[00:01:13] Bringing her back some other woman's sickness

[00:01:16] Her baby girl is crying 'Mama please

[00:01:19] When you're gone the neighbor's chasing me'

[00:01:22] Around the world from Pakistan

[00:01:24] Down to Soweto back to New York City

[00:01:26] Insert your year where the year is

[00:01:29] If to this story you can relate

[00:01:47] We're always giving something

[00:01:48] We're always giving something up

[00:01:51] Giving trying self-relying

[00:01:53] Feeling teaching always preaching

[00:01:56] Dreaming losing being abused and

[00:01:58] Dying crying sacrificing

[00:02:01] Hurting being told we're worthless

[00:02:03] Birthing buried alive in the earth and

[00:02:05] Hoping mending spirits broken

[00:02:08] Flying and somehow surviving

[00:02:20] Giving something up

[00:02:22] We're always giving something up
