GIVIN' OUT OF GIVIN' IN
(Ben Peters)

Skeeter Davis - 1970
Sue Richards & The Toppers - 1970



 
Each time that you come draggin' in at two or three o'clock
You promise you won't stay out late again
And every time I take you back, but now that's gonna stop
'Cause baby I'm givin' out of givin' in

There's lipstick on your shirt again and I know it ain't mine
Don't try to tell me you've been out with friends
The last time I believed you when you handed me that line
But baby, I'm givin' out of givin' in

I'm givin' out of givin' in
I'm tired of playin' games where you're the only one who wins

I've given into you so much the givin's almost gone
What happens in the future all depends
You may come walkin' in one night and find yourself alone
'Cause baby, I'm givin' out of givin' in

(Instrumental Break)

Yeah, I'm givin' out of givin' in
I'm tired of playin' games where you're the only one who wins

I've given into you so much the givin's almost gone
What happens in the future all depends
You may come walkin' in one night and find yourself alone
'Cause baby, I'm givin' out of givin' in
Yeah baby, I'm givin' out of givin' in
