You give me loving that I can't return You give me money that you know I'll burn I'll give you something that you can't give back Then, I'm moving right on down the track You've given everything you've got to me But, still you cannot really set me free My life is changing and I'm on the run I'll see you later when I've had some fun I keep running, 'cause I know the score You'll never find me coming back for more I'll catch you later 'cause I'm gonna split You give a lot, I only need a bit You give me loving that I can't return You give me money that you know I'll burn You give me loving just for your own sake You only give it so that you can take You give me loving and it's plain to see You wanna give it to me all for free But, I can't take it 'cause you need it back The art of giving is the one I lack You give me loving and you drive me mad You give me money and it makes me sad 'Cause I need freedom more than I need gold And so I'll leave before I get too old
