Well it started as a game

Using pleasure using pain

We got higher and higher that way

But it didn ' t work today

Even though it felt so right

Nothing ' s permanent in life

So it ' s useless to hold on so tight

Well you gotta give it up

Give it up give it up oooh

Give it up give it up oooh

Give it up give it up you lost control

Cause nothing stays around too long

So now everything has changed

And your heart ' s been rearranged

Until nothing we ' ve known here remains

And you say you shouldn ' t stay

As you ' re taking off your clothes

You think it ' s loving I suppose

It ' s just you endlessly needing control

Well you gotta give it up

Give it up give it up oooh

Give it up give it up oooh

Give it up give it up you lost control

Cause nothing stays around too long

Nothing stays around too long

Nothing stays around too long

You lost control

You gotta give it up
