Reciprocity

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Some of us like to give
and some only take
makes it the kind of story
I’d rather forsake
‘cause there’s more to life
more than you give
my world will keep turning
long after you leave

Give me give and take
show me reciprocity and
give me give and take
none of your hypocrisy and
give me give and take
wake up to reality and
give me give and take
none of your hypocrisy

if you take time to know
how others live
how others love and hate
and how they forgive
The world is not here
to turn around you
you’re not the one
to see it all through

give me give and take…

Where do we go from here
how far will we get
before you turn into memories
i’d rather forget
‘cause there’s more to life
more than you give
my world will keep turning
long after you leave
