I Gave It Up (When I Fell In Love) — Luther Vandross
My friends told me all about it They said I had to see for myself But I never really cared much about love I thought I could live without it Until I met this one girl And she was so fine I knew she was the one who could change my mind
Chorus:
See, I used to be such a bad bad boy And good times were my toy for joy That was all I was thinking of But I gave it up when I fell in love I used to know the party people around the world I gave it up when I found that girl And she's the one treats me good enough So I gave it up when I fell in love
I thought I was justified To only see the world through my eyes And that it was a waste of time talkin' 'bout love But it only took a little time to make change my mind 'Cause when she said goodbye See, I really thought I'd never stop crying
Chorus
Bridge:
Now, every night I dream about you and our new love All of my friends say I'm such a different guy And they wonder Oh, how they wonder
Ad Lib
I gave it up Sho' nuff gave it up That was all I was thinking of But I gave it up when I fell in love
