Lyrics If You Give Up What You Got (See What You Lost) - Mable John

I fix your breakfast early every morning
I am your water in the tub
When you come on home
I've got the kids all tucked in
So I can listen to what you say
Now I try to show you

But honey, you are the boss
But if you give up what you got
You'll see what you've lost

Bless my soul (bless my soul!)
My work is never done
I got the cooking and the washing
I run, run, run
And way on over in the middle of the night
Can you reach further
I have to say it's alright (it's alright)
But I don't mind

Cause baby, you're the boss
But if you give up what you got
You'll see what you've lost

Every man is supposed to act like a man
But he ain't supposed to have every woman's hand
Variety is spice in life
If you fall in love with the same one twice
Now I know that you got me
At a very, very cheap price

But if you (give up) give up
What you (got now) got now
You'll see what you've lost

Now don't you give up what you got now
Your love, your love, you're my love
Now don't you give up what you got now
The sweet, the sweet, what you lose
Don't you give up what you got now
Your loss, your loss, your loss
