The Art of Giving Up
Today the television said that we were doing fine
But it wasn't true, not this time
Cause all of my best friends just say that life's sublime
They give it up, and so should I
Darling I just can't seem to wake up
When feeling good is already gone
Darling tell me how we can break out
This time, this time, whoa-oh this time
You said just sell all your possessions and just write them off
But I won't take yours, you won't take mine
We'll celebrate the death of lost hopes one by one
It won't take long, no not this time
Darling things just don't seem to work out
When feeling good is already gone
Darling tell me how we can break out
This time, this time, whoa-oh this time
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba baaaa
Give it up this time
Darling I just can't seem to shake out
A feeling that's already gone
Darling tell me how we will make out
This time, this time, whoa-oh this time
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba baaaa
Give it up this time
But it wasn't true, not this time
Cause all of my best friends just say that life's sublime
They give it up, and so should I
Darling I just can't seem to wake up
When feeling good is already gone
Darling tell me how we can break out
This time, this time, whoa-oh this time
You said just sell all your possessions and just write them off
But I won't take yours, you won't take mine
We'll celebrate the death of lost hopes one by one
It won't take long, no not this time
Darling things just don't seem to work out
When feeling good is already gone
Darling tell me how we can break out
This time, this time, whoa-oh this time
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba baaaa
Give it up this time
Darling I just can't seem to shake out
A feeling that's already gone
Darling tell me how we will make out
This time, this time, whoa-oh this time
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba
Ba ba ba ba-da ba ba baaaa
Give it up this time
