You gotta learn today to look at things right on -- OOhh yeah (chorus sings) Black is Black, White is White, that's a proven fact And even goes the same -- when it comes down to a woman The greatest gift god could give man, Me and You Y'all can understand where I'm comin' from You've got somebody that you love -- I don't believe in playin' hard to get For somebody you might already have -- Listen to Me
(Chorus) OOhh You gotta stop fussin' over the ladies Beatin' em and mistreatin' em And leaving them with a baby
Ya gotta start them right Huggin and lovin and bein real nice
Although at times -- they be tempting And sometimes they get ya' old and grey But a woman was made to love One change in this sound like a sleigh What I'm tryin to say, Yaall
If you can't give her love Give her up And If You can't give her up -- make up your mind -- Oh Give her up -- or give her her freedom
I don't mean that a woman run wild And get a job every once in a while -- OOhh Don't get up -- get her up at home Cause you don't want to hurt just leave her alone
There's a lot of men -- I don't know That would like to be your Who would accept a ready made family And be the things for ya' woman that you should be doing
Heeyy, Heeyy
If you can't give her love Give her up And If You can't give her up -- make up your mind -- Oh Give her up -- or give her her freedom
