She was stormin' through the house that day And I could tell she was leavin' And I thought, 'aw, she'll be back.' Until we turned around and pointed at the wall and said That picture from out honeymoon That night in 'Frisco Bay Just give it away She said give it away That big four poster king sized bed Where so much love was made Just give it away She said just give it away Just give it away There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over Oh, we're both tired of fightin' anyway Just give it away Oh, I tried to move on But I found that each woman I held Just reminded me of that day When that front door swung wide open She flung her diamond ring Said, give it away Just give it away And I said, now honey Don't you even want your half of everything She said give it away Just give it away Just give it away There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over Oh, we're both tired of fightin' anyway Just give it away So, I'm still right here where she left me Along with all the other things that she don't care about anymore Hmm Like that picture from our honeymoon That night in 'Frisco Bay She said give it away Well, I can't give it away That big four poster king sized bed Where all our love was made She said give it away Well, I can't give it away I've got furnished house A diamond ring And a lonely, broken heart Full of love And I can't even give it away
