Les paroles de la chanson
ME AND BILLY WERE A COUPLE OF KIDS,
NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID.
SHARING OUR TOYS AND RIDING OUR BIKES,
WE THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
BUT WE GAVE IT ALL UP,
WE GAVE IT ALL UP,
WE GAVE IT ALL UP FOR SCHOOL.
THEN MY FAMLY HAD TO MOVE OUT OF TOWN,
MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS AND STARTED HANGIN AROUND.
STARTED STEALING LIKE THE REST OF THE GUYS,
MY FRIEND GOT CAUGHT, I SAW THE FEARS IN HIS EYES.
SO I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR LOVE.
SHE WAS EIGHTEEN AND I TOPPED HER BY ONE,
SHE SAID SHES HEARD ABOUT THE BAD THINGS IVE DONE.
BUT SHE LOVED ME AND SHE JUST DIDNT CARE,
BUT ONE NIGHT SHE NEEDED ME AND I WASNT THERE.
SO SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP, (gave me right up)
SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP, (gave me right up)
SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP FOR LOVE.
AS I LOOK BACK AND WONDER,
HAVE I WASTED MY TIME ?
WILL I EVER LEARN THE MEANING OF LIFE,
WILL I LEARN IT IN TIME.
SO I SIT HERE WITH A COUPLE OF BEERS,
WONDERING HOW IVE LASTED ALL OF THESE YEARS.
YOURE BESIDE ME AND ITS FEELING SO RIGHT,
HOW ID LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
CAUSE I GAVE IT ALL UP, (gave it all up)
I GAVE IT ALL UP, (gave it all up)
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
(All for you, gave it all up for you) GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) SO I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) SO I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
