If you’re always trying to get to the top
You don’t get to the bottom of nothing
Then you’re gone before you know it
You’d better stop (stop)
Learn a little giving and loving
…
You don’t gotta keep no other man down
For you to get up
There’s no need to worry
Just don’t give away your self-respect
…
But give away love (give it)
And give it for free
No strings attached
Just don’t ask for it back
