Oooh, ooh-ooh
What's left to give
Tell me, tell me baby
After giving it all
I given you all I had my darlin', yeah
What's left to give
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby yeah
After giving it all
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There's a man in my life
That I love so much
And I can't help but thrill
To his every touch
Each day my love
For him grows stronger
Even though
His love for me is no longer
Deep in my heart
I want him to stay, yeah
So I'm trying my best
To win him back some way
What's left to give
Tell me, tell me baby
After giving it all
I've given my all to you darlin'
What's left to give
Baby, baby, baby
After giving it all
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, he told me another
Had taken my place
And it hurt me so bad
Knowing I been replaced
By someone
Who ain't
No good from the start
And someday soon
She'll be breaking his heart
Right now you feel
Like your 10 feet tall
What's left to give
After giving it my all?
What's left to give
Tell me, tell me, tell me, baby
After giving it all
Oh, I've gave you my all darlin', darlin yeah
What's left to give
Baby, baby, baby, baby
After giving it all
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
What's left to give
Oh yeah, tell me, tell me baby
After giving it all
I've gave you my all,
I gave you my all darlin', yes I did
What's left to give
Baby, baby, baby, baby
After giving it all
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
