GIVE ME LOVE
(Cindy Walker)
as recorded by The McGuire
Sisters
1955
Don't give me no heartaches,
Don't give me no pain,
And don't give me teardrops
That fall like rain!
Give me what you promised,
What you promised to give me,
Give me love!
Don't give me no trouble,
Don't fill me with care,
And don't give me worries
That I can't bear!
Give me what you promised,
What you promised to give me,
Give me love!
We made a promise,
Till death do us part,
And darlin' that promise
Came straight from my heart!
And I'm gonna keep it
As long as I live,
My life ain't worth livin'
If you only give
Me nothin' but heartaches
And nothin' but pain,
And all o' those teardrops
That fall like rain!
So give me what you promised,
What you promised to give me,
Give me love!
We made a promise,
Till death do us part,
And darlin' that promise
Came straight from my heart!
And I'm gonna keep it
As long as I live,
My life ain't worth livin'
If you only give
Me nothin' but heartaches
And nothin' but pain,
And all o' those teardrops
That fall like rain!
So give me what you promised,
What you promised to give me,
Give me love,
Give me love!
