Give It All You Have

Give It All You Have © 3/6/2001 Bob Mullany

I knew somehow you'd call
The story's made the rounds
Some friends are quite appalled
At least that's how it sounds
I don't claim to be wise
But I'm not so surprised
Sometimes you give it all you have
But love still lets you down

And so the rumor's true
And bad news travels fast
You're not surprised I knew
Let's put that in the past
It happens all the time
One of life's lesser crimes
Sometimes you give it all you have
But love just doesn't last

I know just how you feel
I tell you as a friend
Your wounded pride will heal
Your broken heart will mend
And though you're full of doubt
Your good heart will win out
Go on and give it all you have
And love will come again
