Not Giving It Up

I confess, I will not be second best.
But that’s not enough, you want “us”.
Always like you’re in a rush for my love.
And it’s above, but you always wanna call my bluff.
Boy, it’s all too much. That’s in the past,
And I will never take you back.

I say:
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
Not gonna do whatever you say.
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
No way.

It’s the same old thing, acting like you’re 17.
Boy, now I’m the king. You can’t relax,
And that’s why I’m not taking you back.

I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
Nothing is the same as you say.
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
No way.
Kiss me – no, no more, you’re gonna miss me.
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
No way.

The skies, they are not gray, they are not falling down on me.
I am ready now for all good things my way.
All skies no longer gray, no longer falling down on me.
I am ready now for anything my way.

Not giving it up (giving it up for you).
Not giving it up (I’m not gonna give up my life).
Not giving it up (for you, for you).
Not giving it up (for you).

I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
Nothing is the same as you say.
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
No way.
Kiss me – nuh uh, no more, you’re gonna miss me.
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
Not a day.
I’m not giving up my life for you baby,
No way.
