4 in the Morning Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright
But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in, it's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
Watching you sleep, it hurts a lot

[Chorus]
And all I know is
You've got to give me everything (Give me everything)
Nothing less 'cause you know I give you all of me (Give you all of me)
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
'Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning, and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby, if we're gonna do it, come on, do it right

[Verse 2]
All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't wanna lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change?
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?
[Chorus]
And all I know is
You've got to give me everything (Give me everything)
Nothing less 'cause you know I give you all of me (Give you all of me)
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
'Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up (Give me everything)
Stay up till four in the morning, and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby, if we're gonna do it, come on, do it right

[Bridge]
Oh please, you know what I need (You know what I need)
Save all your love up for me
We can't escape the love
Give me everything that you have

[Chorus]
And all I know is
You've got to give me everything (Give me everything)
Nothing less 'cause you know I give you all of me (Give you all of me)
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
'Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up (Give me everything)
Stay up till four in the morning, and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby, if we're gonna do it, come on, do it right (Give you all of me)
[Outro]
Give me everything
Give you all of me
