Givin' Up On Good Love

(James Travis)
I've givin' up on Good Love
I've turned and walked away
Sometimes it still makes me sad
When I think of the prices that we've paid
And we've paid
And we've paid
And we've paid

I'd come back to you baby
If I only could
Yes, I'd come back to you baby
Just like they said I should
I'd come back to you baby
Just like you know I would
But I know that that'd just be no good
Yes I know that that'd be no good

So I'm sitting in this room
Feeling much too blue
Yes I'm sitting in this room
That's just much too blue
I'm sitting in this room
Not a damn thing to do
But I know that there ain't a whole lot to do
Yes I know that there ain't a whole lot to do

So I'm givin' up on Good Love
I turned and walked away
Sometimes it still makes me sad
When I think of the prices that we've paid
And we've paid
And we've paid
And we've paid
Oh oh oh

So one of these days
I'm gonna pick up a paper and a pen
You know one of these days
I'm gonna pick up a paper and a pen
I say one of these days
I'm gonna write you a letter again
Saying sorry 'bout the shape I put you in
Sorry about the shape I put you in
