I need to tell you why I been unhappy   It's been too long on my mind   Oh - oh   Gotta admit you were there when I needed   Still there's something I gotta find   Oh - my darlin'   I been thinkin''bout givin' you up   Been thinkin' 'bout changin' my luck   Givin' you up - there's nothin' that you've done   Givin' you up I've outgrown your love   Givin' you up I need some time on my own   In order to find me I - I'm givin' you up      You might hear 'bout me seeing somebody   Though it's not love I'm trying to find   Oh - oh   It could be the freedom without you I'm needing   You took me for granted I found   Oh - my darlin'   I been thinkin''bout givin' you up   And maybe I wanted too much      If you believe all that you hear   You won't believe that love lasts thru the tears   Try to remember the good times   I'll have the memories   And I gotta admit you were there when I needed      Oh - my darlin'   I been thinkin''bout givin' you up   I been thinkin' 'bout changin' my luck      Givin' you up   Givin' you up
