he said goodbye to the canon ball when curtis jackson was yet to crawl he had a photo of a gran torino from ohio to the wall he got deeper into the sound when the big debate was watergate my lina and my brotha made it clear like makin' love chorus he remembers the boogie boy down the house the dj's turnin' out in 1975 he surrenders this total incomplete down to his dancing feet and he gave it up for love (repeat) he gave it up for love x3
sent in a plane with the wings on fire
and when the world came his heart desire
he met a girl freckles on her face
they found a place for the summer
this was a time of space and rhapsody
his hair was long lord knows the sound was funky
Herbie and stevie held the keys to his fantasy
he remembers the boogie boy down the house
the dj's turnin' out in 1975
he surrenders this total incomplete down to his dancin' feet
and he gave it up for love
it wasn't gravity that kept him there? umm but the music and the magic in the air repeat x2 he gave it up for love x3 chorus
