Yes, I know, I know your love is gone
And you feel that you can't carry on
Your burden gets heavier
And your sorrows gets deeper
Girl, you've got to give a little, take a little
Pay the price and make the sacrifice
You've got to give a little, take a little
True loves a game of give and take
Remember, Romeo and Juliet
How they gave and took a lot, don't you forget
I know it's hard to bear
But be smart and you won't have to fail
If you just give a little, take a little
Pay the price and make the sacrifice
You've got to give a little, take a little
True loves a game of give and take
Yes, I know
Yes you say, you haven't lost your faith
You get tired of this long wait
You must give if you wanna take
And if you do, girl, you know won't regret
You've got to give a little, take a little
Pay the price, make the sacrifice
You've got to give a little, take a little
True loves a game of give and take
You've got to give a little, take a little
Pay the price make the sacrifice
You've got to give a little, take a little
True loves a game of give and take
You've got to give a little, take a little
Pay the price, make the sacrifice
