about

It's not all about me...

lyrics

There are rules & regulations in everything you do
You're not out on your own no more,
You got someone there beside you
Don't be so independent
And think you've done enough
It's required by love, you've got to give yourself up

There's lots of people never care for nobody at all
They think they'll make it on their own,
They're headed for a fall
'Cause soon enough they'll find
There's no more coffee in their cup
It's required by love, you've got to give yourself up

You know we can't make the rules or break the rules
Or change them all for you
Running out of things to doubt, never number two

Your style may hold you back awhile & try to make you stay
But if you want that love of hers you'll give yourself away
You'd better start to think about
Who gets the bigger cut
It's required by love, you've got to give yourself up
