Give Me Love, Give Me Life

Roger Hodgson

It's feeling like it's time to ring the changes


It's feeling like it's time to be reborn


'Cause here we go again, proclaiming it's the end


We're reaching out for something to bring it back again


We're living on good fortune, we're cheating all our friends


So tell me, oh tell me, now where's it going to end


I hope it's not too late to see the danger


I'd really like to wake and see the dawn


'Cause here we go again, we're trying to pretend


We're blaming one another for what is ours to mend


We're fighting for the future, we're ringin' out the past


It feels good, it feels good but is it going to last





Chorus:


Give me love, give me love, give me joy, give me pain


Give me light, give me starting again


Give me hope, give me hope, give me sun, give me rain


Get me up, get me dancing again


Give me life, give me life, give me high, give me low


Give me truth give me something to know


Give me time, give me time, give me room, give me rope


Give me sign, give me reason to hope





'Cause everything is a turn up, turnaround


And everything is upside, upside-down


Well everything's not like you'd like it to be


Everything is a two-bit, two-bit town


And everybody's just out to drag you down


Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be





Well everything is a turn up, turnaround


And everything is upside, upside-down


Well everything's not like you'd like it to be


Everything is a two-bit, two-bit town


And everybody's just out to drag you down


Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be





I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking 'bout you





Repeat Chorus





Things just ain't what they used to be, ain't what they ought to be


Ain't what they've got to be, gonna be probably


Things just ain't gonna get to me, ain't gonna bother me


Ain't gonna worry me, hurry me, let it be





Repeat ChorusĀ
