TURN IT OVER (GIVE IT UP)


Working six days, gettin’ paid like three.

Someone’s always angry and dumpin’

on me.

I got an old car don’t pay to repair.

My teeth need work

and I’m losing my hair.

I’m told there’s nothin’ in my life

unless I choose it.

I got a Higher Power.

Might as well use it.

CHORUS

Turn it over, give it up.

I trust in the one who won’t mess it up.

Turn it over, give it up.

Whatever the problem,

the answer is love.

Turn it over, give it up.

Turn it over... .and give it up.

Livin’ life my way over thirty years

and all I got to show is sweat and tears.

I guess I don’t know what’s best for me

but I’m willing to see things differently.

Well, I’m tired of hurtin’ and strugglin’

and a bummin’.

Heads up God, there’s a package comin’

CHORUS

When your mood takes a dive,

Turn it over, give it up.

And the money don’t jive,

Turn it over, give it up.

So, the bills aren’t paid,

Turn it over, give it up.

And you feel real afraid

Turn it over, give it up.

You think you’re all alone

Turn it over, give it up.

Just a heart without a home,

Turn it over, give it up.

Hope is wearing thin,

Turn it over, give it up.

The answer lies within

Turn it over, give it up.

Turn it over, give it up.

Turn it over, give it up.

CHORUS
