Aaliyah - Giving Up Lyrics
Mhmm
Ohh, ohh
Yeah
Giving up, mm, is hard to do
Giving up, so hard to do
When you still depend upon, his warm and tender touch
His kiss and his caress
Ooh, they used to mean so much, mm
And bring you happiness, oh, oh, oh, ohh
Giving up, so hard to do
I've tried, but it just ain't no use
Giving up, so hard to do
I said I've tried, but it just ain't no use
Oh but, mhmm, but in my heart I pray
That my love and faith in the man
Will ohh, will bring him back to me
Aye hey, aye hey
I'm talking 'bout if you really love somebody, heyy
Ooh, ooh, whether
Whether he knows or not, hmm
He, he, he really needs me too
I said the man is all I got, oh, yes he is, yeah
And giving up, giving up is so hard to do
Oh, oh, oh, giving up, heyy
So hard to do, heyy, heyy, giving up
So hard for me to do
I said I've tried it, hey
Can't break through
I don't wanna lose you
Cause you mean so much to me, heyy
Ooh, giving up

Aaliyah killed this!!! Rest In Peace Babygirl!!!
Why did the four page letter dance break go perfect 🤣❤️
This is my jam and the falsetto and low rendition is impeccable babygirl you are truly missed and with God
So beautiful and talented. I love the way she sang this song👍 Still listening. RIP Baby girl🙏💖🌷😇
I love this song it really showcases the vocal ability that people try to say she didn’t have!!! Babygirl did her thing!!!!
Her voice is even more powerful than I remember. So beautiful.
I take this stuff seriously
True talent
Every time I think about Aaliyah I cry just listening to her music R I P princess of RNB Aliyah in our Hart’s forever
I seriously did not know this even existed... I feel ashamed 😔😭 ....
The only true Princess now Queen of RnB. I miss my Aaliyah so damn much. Why she had to go so soon? True angel
Thanks for the update and for the record I have to go do something with you and your team Aaliyah will live on
Wow never knew Aliyah covered this Donny classic... nice
Love this girl,2019!
Damn! She did herself and Donny Hathaway proud! RIP love the gifts you gave us.
One of the endless reasons why I love Aaliyah's music till this day. Her talent and voice could not be summed up with her hits. Her real vocal abilities came through on her less well known tracks like this one. This one in particular shows her influence with classic r&b and soul singers from the older generations. I know there have been endless comparison's of her to other singers. Beyonce in particular has an amazing vocal range, but like her, and others from that nineties, and 2000's era of female singers, did not have that old soul sound resonate. Aaliyah had that soul so much, that even a legend like Whitney loved and heard it. Anyone with time and training can learn to hit notes, but soul can't be learned.
BbyGirl Blew This One , Love It♥️👍🏾CONTINUE To Rest BbyGirl🕊
I always knew that Baby Girl could sing~ because I’ve always listened to her vocals not just the beat of the song ~> this was just beautiful ~ never knew she remade this!
When everyone wants a piece of him...and all you wanted to do was make him whole...you have to give up on him. 😢
*_Aaliyah was so damn talented!I miss her!....She went through some real pain to sing that song!_*
Sensacional 👏👏👏👏👏
<3 ALWAYS AALIYAH
She was the first celebrity I ever shed tears for! She was so beautiful & talented. I remember when the sky said that it wasn't a prank or a hoax that she had gotten killed in a plane crash! I was devastated I'm shedding tears as I'm writing this. 3/18/2019
Aaliyah is blind in one eye that's why she wear them glasses and she is death in one ear and she can hear pregnant women's babies talking.
I love how tender yet powerful her voice is. There is really nobody who sounds like her. Truly missed
A music video movie would be great
Whitney asked Aaliyah to record this song..for the sparkle movie.. but this is just a demo. Aaliyah ans her mother were on the phone when she asked her to play the movie part of the older sister
She did an excellent job with this song. R.I.P to both Mr. Donny Hathaway and Ms. Aaliyah "Baby Girl" Haughton. Gone way too soon, but not forgotten!
💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
🌷🌻🌹🌷🌺🌹🌷🌹
🎶🎼🎶🎵🎶🎼🎵🎼
🎙🎵🎙🎵🎙🎵🎙🎵
🌹I REMEMBER AAILYAH🌹
She truly showed her talents on dope covers of classic songs!
i don't think whitney and brandy where good friends because she gave the sparkle movie to aaliyah instead of brandy
Richard Brown What? You sound ignorant.
aaliyah was casted for the role in the film sparkle. whitney houston asked her to play the role.
So Aaliyah was suppose to play Sister in Sparkle? Oh I thought she was supposed to be Sparkle's role, to me she favors Irene Cara a bit
Whitney said Aaliyah was to play Sparkle.
I miss baby girl. Your voice was amazing.
👏 👏 👏 👏
I didn't know that she covered Donny Hathaway. Absolutely amazing!
4:58 who the hell is that? Lol
Shon9tilR GIRL!!! That’s Sister from the 1976 version of Sparkle 🤣
She was on dope and her man beat her
Billie._ Holiday Ohh lol!
Wow!!!!!!!! 🔥
this song would have blown up so quickly she showed us that she can sing i love this song
2018 Yes this is a hard song to sing. You have to have the vocals and she does
she was an amazing artist thank you sang it girl ii know what you mean lord help me,
damn it I miss her so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the individual who edited this together... 💥💥💥💥💥💥💯 super dope!
This is dedicated to all those who claim Aaliyah couldn’t sing and her vocals were average at best
@ everyone who says aaliyah couldn’t sing or that she wasn’t a vocalist.
yeah what now?
she's ok, but she doesn't have the power and travail in her voice like Jennifer Holiday
Now I am indeed a Aaliyah fan will always be but baby the best versions of this song to date are Donny Hathaway and Jennifer Holiday!
Not bad not bad at all :-)
In my mind..she is an ICON..2018..we miss you boo.
She did a Beautiful Job on this
My favorite song... this song give me chills
wow aalyiah can really sing wow HMMM MORE TALENTED THAT I THOUGHT!
My song and my 💓 right there . Rip Babygirl
RIP TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL EVER AND SHE HAD A GREAT VOICE!
QUEEEEEN
OMG Wooooooow, AALIYAH ur the best❤🙌
Chills, and sadness! Rip baby girl!
Never heard this before
TheNATEFRMBKLYN Show so glad I stumbled on this! Absolutely marvelous!
she definitely had the lights out while recording this song.
Agree she did probably missed seriously imagine if she sung this 2019 😲😱😍💙💓👀
Aaliyah was a GREAT singer...This song proves it...Only God know why she was taken at such a young age...Ths sad part is her Family is not letting the world hear these songs....SHARE HER GIFTS AND LEGACY...Thats what she would have wanted....Baby Girl Rest in Peace and know that your fans will forever keep your LEGACY ALIVE!
Joseph Mayers it's not really family honestly just that greedy ass uncle that's created a problem
I can see why Beyoncé and the like we're scared.
Jussayin...
Sweet journey, Aaliyah. 💜🎤🙏🏾💕
This makes me sooosad
Amazing...so soulful.
I MEAN I REALLLLLLLYYYYYYY LOVEE AALIYAH I MEAN I DO SHE'S JUST EVERYTHING🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Dang why she had to go!!!!!
This is obviously a DEMO so she'd probably re-do some parts. For a Demo, this ain't bad. It's a great effort and definitely Aaliyah's strongest vocal performance that has been 'released'. No one can touch Donny Hathaway's version - he's probably the most gifted vocalist of his generation and one of the most gifted pianist. That's not taking anything from Aaliyah, this is a great effort. I think with time and growth (she was only 22 ffs), she could've been something really special.
nor Jennifer holiday's
Don't cry, don't cry to late. BabyGirl put it down. , Whitney wanted her she was the epitome of greatness r.i.p. Baby Girl, two of my greatest singers 😍😊😞😢😭
Singers such as Aaliyah only come once in a life time. She was a Dimond. Then she begin to show he acting talent, plus she was a great dancer. Her triple star quality was above most in her time to be so young. Most of all she was beautiful from the inside out. To be so young, she could sing a love song with such sensibility and passion. I love all slow R&B music. Truthfully Aaliyah was before her time. She will never be forgotten. When she passed, it like that day you will remember where you were and what you were during the time of her death. Like Micheal Jackson, Tupac or Biggie. The difference between above named was Aaliyah's angelic voice.
da Love caterer , forgive me, I gotta run errands
This girl had so much soul in her! In every sense of the meaning inside and out. Her label never let her sing like this. They only cared about pop hits to get more money out of her. But with a voice like this it should have been heard more. I miss her.
I am here for this
Our princess Aaliyah. Now your singing with the angels. Rest in paradise. We love you.💕🌹💋
this song made me cry so much, it's so hard to accept that she's gone, such a talent, she's touched so many people in a short time, sometimes i wish i could go on her place, it's depressing. She sould be here :'(
This could have been a great video
Putting on repeat
Damn Aaliyah had me in me my feelings about this song classic and timeless really miss Aaliyah BabyGirl
i just finally discovered donny hathaway and she covered this beautifully. love them both 😁
R.I.P. Donny Hathaway, Aaliyah, & Whitney Houston!
Lisa left eye too
PJ Staten R.I.P.
whhhhhaaatttt?! never heard this before! She blew!!
Eait this aint Aaliyah
genie x it is aaliyah.
This is Aaliyah, is a demo version, she was supposed to met Whitney the next week after the plane crash for the Sparkle movie plans.
so beautiful. never knew she covered this song. amazing 👑🌹
A true entertainer!
215,034 on 2/5/17
she should've recorded the final version for her 3rd album, this is so good. her voice is so soothing
why wasn't this ever released??
Kenneth Williams This isn't the final product. It's just a demo.
Kenneth Williams this demo was recorded for Whitney, Aaliyah was supposed to met her the next week after the plane crash to plan about the Sparkle movie.
She still has many unreleased vocal tracks, but Barry Hankerson is a money hungry greedy bastard holding all her unreleases hostage. Aaliyah's mom and her brother tried to sue Barry to Aaliyah's estate but they lost the suit.
CNCO Gallery She already met Whitney about the movie before hand. She was about to met Whitney about the music, not the movie.
It was always weird to me how Aaliyah died in the process of making Sparkle and years later Whitney also died in the process of making sparkle. That was so crazy to me. I remember watching the interview with Whitney saying that she asked Aaliyah to sing a cover song to see how much she can blow and she was their Sparkle!!!!
Anyone that knows music knows this young lady put her soul in the air for the world to hear.If you don't know that and you cant feel that,that's just sad
Still believe she was killed so the fake blond could be on top ...Fuck Formation...
Victor Johnson "formation" was a horrible song.
This is perfectly synced. Love it. I miss her 😿😿
i like this song nov.. 2016 anyboby
Arrious McAfee Dec 2016
Arrious McAfee I love it
i totally can see everybody face in the recording studio when she finished recording this😂😂😂i bet they was blown away
Marilyn King facts. Lol
still don't want to believe that she is not here I know it's been a long time but
i know i feel you but we gonna see her again😥😪😭
Still can't believe this happened to her. 😢
this song takes me back to the original sparkle right b4 sister died n outside off Donny hathway singing it aaliyah did a awesome job it always bring me tears
Every cover she had, she did her own way..one could've thought she was the original. She is a pure and true Muse
Wow thank you liyah.
Can you imagine her today? Gone waaaay to soon!
Aaliyah had soul and I hate that she is gone because we would never know how much more her voice would Improve.
And this why u shouldn't be compare her to Cassie,Ciara, Janet, and Rihanna.
@douglas d Bird she not a product of R.Kelly, he was just a hot producer her label chose to produce her album cause he had a track record of producin and writing hits
douglas d Bird it was timbaland who provided the beats. She had an unique voice. Too bad we could not hear more of it
@Shawn Carter True
She's not any of those ppl. She is A-a-l-i-y-a-h. You better know.
douglas d Bird Naw her music with Tim and Missy was better than the music she had with R.Kelly.
