Giving Something Up - Amel Larrieux
'76 when a man
Told his wife 'baby doll sorry i can't stay'

Left with 5 kids she was forced to become
Superwoman and go earn some pay

A college-educated girl

Washing dishes in a man's world

Now what good is a degree
When you've got mouths to feed

She is that girl maybe you know her
Maybe you've been maybe you are today

Insert your year where the year is
If to this story you can relate

Giving something up
We're always giving something up

We are giving somethin up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something
We're always giving something up

'97 a mother has no choice
But to go find work and leave her kids alone
Far from heaven so she's gone
5 days out the week to bring a piece home
Her man is off somewhere up some dress
Bringing her back some other woman's sickness

Her baby girl is crying 'Mama please
When you're gone the neighbor's chasing me'

Around the world from Pakistan
Down to Soweto back to New York City
Insert your year where the year is
If to this story you can relate

Giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving somethin up
We're always giving something up

We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something
We're always giving something up

Giving trying self-relying

Feeling teaching always preaching
Dreaming losing being abused and
Dying crying sacrificing

Hurting being told we're worthless
Birthing buried alive in the earth and
Hoping mending spirits broken
Flying and somehow surviving

Giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving somethin up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something
We're always giving something up
Giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving somethin up
We're always giving something up

We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something
We're always giving something up
Giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving somethin up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up

We're always giving something
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up

We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
