Gave it up for love

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Going back in time
back in time to when
staying put was not for me

I gave it up for love
gave it up for love
i gave it up, i gave it up for love

never thought of love
as something right for me
something only others feel

I gave it up for love
gave it up for love
i gave it up, i gave it up for love

You came by and changed the way i feel
now the mask is off i’ve nothing to conceal

opened up my mind, made me realise
I was once so blind, with eyes open wide
And you made me see, you were meant for me
no big deal being free, there’s more here for me

Back in time to when
I lived a fantasy
running wild and fancy free

but I gave it up fro love
gave it up for love
i gave it up, i gave it up for love

now i’ve seen the light
and you’re the one for me
ain’t that keen on being free
