Ziggy Marley - Give It Away

You can hide it deep inside
And don't speak a word of it
And you can play the fool
And say you've never heard of it, oh no
Hold on tight, you can try
Though you'll wind up losing every time, ay!

Only if we give it away
Can love be love
Only if we give it away
Can love be love - yeah

Had it locked up in a box
So it'd never get away from you, oh no
And you held on so tight
'Cause of what you were afraid to do, oh yeah
Count your coins, pour your wine
Don't you end up lonely time after time

Only if we give it away
Can love be love
Tell you - only if we give it away
Can love be love - yeah

Now give it away (give it away)
Now give it away (give it away)
Now give it away (give it away, away)
Now give it away (give it away)
Hey, hey (give it away)
Now give it away (give it away, away) alright

There's not a man alive
Who can stand up and walk away from it, oh no
In fact I even knew some men
Who think that they can pay for it, oh oh no
That's not real, it's a lie
So they end up crying time after time, oh

Only if we give it away
Only if we give
(Can love be love)
Only if we give it away
Look it there
Only if we give it away
Can love be love

I say only if we give it away
Can love be love, be love, be love, yes
Only if we give it away
Can love be love

Now give it away (give it away)
Now give it away (give it away
Now give it away (give it away, away)
Now give it away (give it away)
Now give it away (give it away)
Now give it away (give it away, away)

I'm gonna give it away (give it away)
I'm gonna give it away (give it away)
I'm gonna give it away (give it away, away)
I'm gonna give it away, yeah

Only if we give it away
Can love be love, yeah
Now give it away
