If
you can't give me love (1978)
1. Well I've seen you
before on that discotheque floor,
Am
you were driving me out of my mind,
C G
oh, but I could have sworn that I saw
something more in your eyes.
Although you were surrounded by beauty
unbounded,
Am
your glance was intended for me,
C
G
and though I tried to hide it, I found
myself looking to see you.
So then you took your chances, you made
your advances,
Am
your touch took my breath away,
C
but when you said, "Hello, are you
ready to go?"
G D
Well, I had just one thing to say .
If you can't give me
love, honey, that ain't enough,
Am D G - Em
let me go look for
somebody else.
Am D Am D
If you can't give me
feelings with old fashioned meanings,
Am D G
you're just in love
with yourself.
If you can't give me
love (lo...ve), if you can't give me love (lo...ve),
C D C D
if you can't give me
love (lo...ve), if you can't give me love (lo...ve),
G - Em G - Em - C - D
if you can't give me
love (Lo....ve)!
2. Well you may be the
king of this discotheque scene,
- Am
but honey, I ain't looking for that,
C
G
what I need is a man, not some so-called
aristocrat.
Oh, if only you'd waited, just hesitated,
Am
or maybe just asked me to dance,
C
but you really don't know why I don't want
to go,
G D
and, baby, that's why we don't stand a
chance.
+ if you can't give me love (Lo....ve)!
C D C D
if you can't give me love (lo...ve), if you
can't give me love (lo...ve) !
G Em G Em
Give me love (lo...ve), give me love
(lo...ve) .....
