[Verse 1: Maxine Jones & En Vogue]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Maxine Jones & En Vogue]
I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, no (Ooh)
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around (Oh)
[Chorus: En Vogue & Maxine Jones]
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if he don't want ya, you don't need 'em, girl, yeah
Givе it up, turn it loose
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2: Maxine Jones & En Vogue]
Fact of life (So sad but truе)
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
[Pre-Chorus: Maxine Jones & En Vogue]
I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, no, no (Ooh)
Don't be down and miserable
You and only you
Can bring yourself around (Oh)
[Chorus: En Vogue & Maxine Jones]
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, if he don't want ya, you don't need 'em, girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Oh, yeah
[Outro: Maxine Jones, En Vogue]
Mmm, yeah, oh
(Give it up) Give it up, oh
Give it up, ah yeah, come on
(Give up) Give it up
(Give up) Give it up
(Give it up, turn it loose) Turnin' it loose, baby
(Give up) Give it up
(Give up) Give it up
(Give it up, turn it loose) Turnin' it loose, baby
(Give up) Give it, give it, give it, give it
(Give up) Give it, give it, give it, give it
(Give it up, turn it loose) And turn it loose
(Give up) Hey
(Give up) Turn it loose
(Give it up, turn it loose) Oh, turn it loose, baby
(Give up) So sad but true
(Give up) Love can hurt you
(Give it up, turn it loose) Doo, doo, doo, doo
(Give up) Doo, doo, doo, doo
(Give up) Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
(Give it up, turn it loose)
(Give up)
(Give up)
(Give it up, turn it loose)
(Give up)
(Give up)
(Give it up, turn it loose)
