Song Description

One partner is fed up with waiting for the other to show some commitment, and so decides to give up on the relationship.

Lyrics

My ambitions are unfulfilled
I've got things to do and no time to kill
I've got plans to make and I'll see them through
'Cos I can't get no lovin' outa you

No commitment that's what you said
You were into having fun but look where it led
I fell in love I needed something more
I tried in vain to win you heart but you just closed the door

So I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
'Cos I've has enough of you messing me around
Yes I'm giving you up
I'm gonna give you up
'Just good friends' is fine but it aint enough

On brief occasions in a serious mood
Well you twist and turn and play with your food
You don't seem to like me closing in
And there's no point fighting battles I can't win

That's why I'm giving you up
Yeh I'm giving you up
'Cos I've had enough of you - you're messing me around

Well you must suppose I'll come back to you
That it's just a phase I'm going through
You don't understand - no you can't have heard
I gave you my love
I gave you a chance
Now baby I give you my word

I'm giving you up
Yeh I'm giving you up
'Cos I've had enough of you - you're messing me around
Yes I'm giving you up
I'm gonna give you up

There's nothing else I can do
I just can't wait for you
I've had enough
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you

What happened to give and take?
What happened to all the plans we made?
