Give Away None of My Love Songtext
von Otis Redding

For just as long as I live (listen)
To you, my love, I′m gon' give ya (listen)
And you won′t have to care for no heaven low
No, you won't, nah

But as long as, ah, you don't freak out
And lil′ girl, you know what I′m talking 'bout
I don′t want you to give 'way none of my good lovin′
Don't want you to just give ′way none of my good love, nah (listen, uh)

Boys gon' come and try to take you out
But tell 'em
That you don′t need no standby
Then tell ′em
That ain't nobody gon′ just get no love but me
Uh, only me, now

Dig this, uh
But as long as you go downtown
All the fellas, they gon' be standing around
But, ah you bet′ not just give 'way none of my good lovin′
I don't want you to give 'way none of my good lovin′


Uh, dig this
Freeze me
Don′t give me no tubber
Just please me
Now, let's be true to one another
And ease me
Don′t you give me no pain
You got enough love
To drive one man insane, yeah

Come on
Winter, Spring and Summer (listen)
Everyday I make love to my baby
And I'm gonna love the sweet lil′ thing
'Til the day I die
Uh, yes I am, now, listen

Fall we′ll be picking up leaves
Fast as the wind be blowin' 'em off them trees
But you better not just give ′way none of my good lovin′
I don't want you to give ′way none of my g' lovin′

Oh, God
You bet' not give ′way nothin'
Don't want you to give ′way nothin′
You bet' not give ′way nothin'
None of my good love, love, love


No, don′t give 'way nothin′
You bet' not give 'way nothin′
Please, don′t give 'way nothin′
None of my good, oh lovin' mama
Oh, don′t give 'way nothin′
Don't want you to give 'way nothin′
Please, don′t give 'way nothin′
All day long, I said
Mama, just don't give ′way nothin'
Ooh, y-
Just save it
Oh, just don′t give 'way nothin'
