You Give Me Loving - Ten Years After

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
