Give It Up, Turn It Loose

I believe in yesterday
I believe in yesterday

What's the problem?
You keep comin' in and keep comin' out and singin' flat
(I'm sorry, I'm sorry) (what's up?)
What's wrong? You're not concentrating
(Yes, I am concentrating) no, you're not
(I'm sorry, let's just do it again)
No, no, no, uh uh (what's the problem?)
(There's no problem)
Dawn, what's wrong?
(There's nothing wrong, Terry)
Kevin! (hmm-hmm) (no it's not Kelvin)
Please don't tell me it's Kevin (hmm-hmm) (God!)
Ew, Kevin Swahili, I knew it! He's got cooties
And he's seeing Tamika right now (and everybody else)
He is not seeing Raneka (he is)
(How you know?) Wait a minute you guys (look)
(Okay, you need to leave his butt alone) wait wait wait
You guys, we should not attack her
It sounds like it's serious (thank you)
Because we can't concentrate and get this right (thank you, okay)
So, let's deal with the problem
You see, I've been through this myself, and, let's talk (okay)
(And it goes a little something like this, hit it)

Baby girl (unfair but true)
Can love him once but not twice
Who plays games with no rules (a fool)
Tears for fears (are no surprise)
Happens almost every time
Love knocks you on your behind

Loved you hard, loved you long, now his love is gone
Love 'em and leave 'em (is the) rule of most dogs
You must be strong, stand up on your own
Take control of your life

I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, no
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you can bring yourself around

Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if it don't wantcha, you don't need 'em, girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose, uh-uh, yeah

Fact of life (so sad but true)
Love can often hurt you
Leaving scars most of your life (nightmares can haunt you)
But fairytales of love, can come true
Both play tricks on your mind

You'll be fine, take this time, to find piece of mind
Sooner or later bad feelings will die
You must be strong
Don't blame it all on love
In time good things will come

I've seen time and time again
It's not worth it, no, no
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around

Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if it don't wantcha, you don't need 'em, girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose, uh-huh, yeah

(Give it up) give it up, uh-huh
Yeah, c'mom
(Give up) give it up
(Give up) give it up
Give it up and turn it loose
Turnin' it loose, baby
(Give up) give it up

(Give up) give it up
Give it up and turn it loose
Turnin' it loose, baby
(Give up) give it, give it, give it
(Give up) give it, give it, give it
Give it up and turn it loose
Turnin' it loose, baby

(Give up) yeah
(Give up) turn it lose
(Give it up and turn it loose)
What you doing baby?
(Give up) so tell the truth
(Give up) love can hurt you
(Give up)
