I wake up early, work 'til late
Try to do right, but I'm takin' the bait
They say what you sow is what you reap
But all I'm growin' is trouble and sleep
Gave my heart, gave my time
Now I'm standin' here with a nickel and a dime
If love's a race, I'm runnin' last
Tryin' to hold on, but I'm burnin' too fast
Ohhh, the more I give, the less I got left
Every road I take, just leads to regret
I pour my soul, but the cup won't fill
Ohhh, the more I give, the less I got left
My woman tells me, "Baby, hold on tight"
But love ain't easy when the money ain't right
I give my last dime, I give my best
But I got nothin' but pain in my chest
I pray for change, but the bills still stack
I take one step up, get pushed two back
I'm runnin' low, I'm runnin' dry
Somebody tell me, how long can I try?
Ohhh, the more I give, the less I got left
Every road I take, just leads to regret
I pour my soul, but the cup won't fill
Ohhh, the more I give, the less I got left
I ain't lookin' for silver, I ain't lookin' for gold
Just want somethin' to hold when the nights get cold
If love is a fire, then where's my flame?
I keep givin' and givin', but it all feels the same
Ohhh, the more I give, the less I got left
Every road I take, just leads to regret
I pour my soul, but the cup won't fill
Ohhh, the more I give, the less I got left
One day soon, I'll find my way
But 'til then, I just work and pray
One more mile, one more song
But Lord knows, I can't keep holdin' on
