Missing Persons - Give Lyrics






When's the last time you really touched someone
How did it feel
Did it surprise you when you found yourself unselfish
Did it seem unreal
The pressure's everywhere - everywhere around you
Beckon you to turn the other way
But I say the results are superficial
There's only one way to play

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Give - when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Put your head where your feet are going
'Cause the good outweighs the bad
It's you that should be - you should be knowing
It's for what you give not what you have
When it seems you - you can't give enough
Realize it's the good you do it for
So when the going gets a little bit tough
You've got to give a little bit more

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

When you're looking for an answer
Nothing seems to fit
Don't give up
You've got to let your heart become the
Mirror of your mind
Give in

Don't wait for something to cause you reason
Set your goal let your mind follow through
When you feel something to believe in
You'll make all your dreams, all your dreams come true

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

(Give all you've got to give)
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
(Give all you've got to give)
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
(Give all you've got to give)
(Give all you've got to give)
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
(Give all you've got to give)
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
...

Missing Persons Give Comments
  1. K.... N....

    Dale Bozzio going for the David Ferrie look.

  2. T.... H....

    she was something else as Eddie Cochran would say.

  3. D.... F....

    What a great message Dale

  4. C.... R....

    How come every Missing Persons video I go to there are inevitably a myriad of people chiming in about Lady Gaga. Give it a rest! Artists painting their faces and dying their hair has never really been that original a concept.

  5. E.... B....

    So refreshing to hear this talent in vacuous 2019

  6. s.... c....

    in my cowntry it is often sayd that 'good wine is stored in small barrels' dale forbidden desire of my missing teenage

  7. T.... L....

    i always liked Dale's outfits .they are really out of this world

  8. J.... H....

    I wonder in Warren still has that cool guitar

  9. M.... C....

    This band was Supremely Talented. Terry Bozzio is a Monster on Drums (listen to the track's Tears, or U.S.Drag among many others). I saw them perform Live in NYC = Show was Epic. Dale came out in See-Thru Plastic Bubbles-outfit. I was 3rd row dead center. Rumor has it- Prince (R.I.P.) was listening to Missing Persons heavily before he passed. Talent recognizes/appreciates Talent.

  10. G.... C....

    My favorite song of this awesome band! 💜💜💜

  11. C.... C....

    Look at that guitar !!! he's in lightyears ahead of now !!!

  12. B.... H....

    You can't buy a stairway to heaven by giving or by self-righteous do gooding. The way to heaven is only by faith in the God-man Jesus. To try to make up for a lifetime of sin by doing good is a big insult to what Jesus did on the cross. Big sin.

  13. D.... W....

    THE best DRummer in the world, BOZIO

  14. B.... H....

    Yawn. Nap time....

  15. B.... H....

    If it is not given in the name of the God-man Jesus, it counts for nothing in eternity, it just satisfies you constant craving to feel good about yourself. God wants us all to be filthy rich. He does not want all our money.

  16. D.... S....

  17. M.... S....

    And Gaga bought Zappa's house... Why ? She's not gaining anymore fans her career is over and never was good really... Missing Persons 3 albums and a EP and awesome live CD's from the era... Watch Holy Moly the 83 US Festival Every song they ever wrote was amazing ...

  18. J.... S....

    OKAY we all know now Gaga stole so much from her, WE GOT IT!! So what, so many artists and bands and other people steal stuff from the ones that came before them, ALL THE TIME!! You think Beyonce is 100% "original"? You think Spice Girls were original? You think Joan Jett was original? You think Elvis was original? You think Rolling Stones were original? Think again.

  19. W.... ....

    the most gifted and natural female vocalist from USA....young lady had a style all her own..timeless. up there with Lene Lovich and Siouxsie Sioux. Ahhh the 80s. so much energy and Awesome music.

  20. M.... M....

    Why are the men wearing makeup? Are they gay? That's something I never understood about Male performers back in the 80s.

  21. D.... L....

    I was a giant fan of theirs.

  22. M.... I....

    Ditching the drum set for that machine was so 80s. I liked their sound on the first album, GA GA should pay dale residuals for totally ripping off her look..

  23. M.... S....

    Tutti musicisti di Frank Zappa. Warren Cuccurullo, Dale and Terry Bozzio.

  24. S.... D....

    She has lips like Ace Frehley

  25. T.... H....

    What the feck is that guitar he's playing??

  26. M.... C....

    Every missing persons video has relatable millennials trying to bash Lady Gaga or Gwen Stephani lol

  27. 2.... ....

    Fantastic aggressive hard rock sound as much as a new wave one. Very few new wave bands did that, Ministry debut album, is really only one that comes to mind.

  28. c.... c....

    Ever so Lady Ga-Ga got her style from Dale........and about Warren.........He did a good job in replacing Andy in Duran Duran........If Warren ,Simon,Nick,J.T and Rodger did decide to record again that be a "Epic" line up

  29. m.... m....

    This looks like it came from the future.

  30. D.... M....

    wow, this song is Funky.

  31. g.... p....

    Sorry for that, but Lady Gaga is nothing compared to Dale. Just a pale imitation...

  32. J.... T....

    Sweet,Nice and Amazing.I like this song a lot.Another Jewel of the best Musics of the Fantastic 80's.Warm and Precious Memories.

  33. C.... Z....

    I've never seen so many people go so long without blinking.

  34. p.... ....

    I really loved missing persons, I saw them a few times live, but I think it was a big mistake for the band when Terry Bozzio went to an electronic kit and changed the sound of the band. there bands success went down hill after the change, I still think they were one of the coolest bands ever. but Mental Hopscotch / Words / Destination unknown / Walking in LA / I like Boys / so many cool songs with real drums, I can remember Terry Bozzio doing a drum solo over the groove of US Drag at the US festival. I really think if they would have stuck to there original sound and of the style of there first songs they would have made it allot bigger. but unfortunately they are still underrated because of not making as big as they should have.

  35. E.... M....

    El premio de Lady GAGA debieron dárselo a ella.

  36. R.... B....

    Cool...

  37. M.... F....

    Every video and song i heard today is just amazing... I mean amazing.. I would like to thank the group for your incrediable work.. Thank you thank you thank you.. As for that dirtbag lady gage me.. Try something original.. I did not mean to insult your lack of intelligence.. Because there is none to insult😁😁😁😁

  38. J.... D....

    The 80s ..... What can I say? I grew up with this music. Dale was hot but she couldn't dance...... Want something modern? Look up DAWN

  39. e.... ....

    Re-discovering gems of eighties music. Timeless, still danceable, and also great for night cruising.

  40. D.... D....

    lady gaga is a Missing Persons style thief

  41. t.... ....

    This song, the message in it,, and her interview in 2014 tells me this woman is the real deal very very humanitarian.

  42. R.... F....

    Dale was and still is Hot!

  43. B.... S....

    Miranda Sings was great in the 80s

  44. R.... R....

    This is an inspiring song. "Give, like you've got everything to give. Give like you've everything to live for. New workout song. :3

  45. S.... ....

    I was let down by this period of their career.

  46. r.... ....

    Wave synth!

  47. C.... C....

    If this doesn't get your ass moving on the dance floor then something is wrong with you!!

  48. s.... ....

    Those lips Dale!

    My favorite 80s band.

  49. R.... o....

    Lady Gaga ripped her style off from Dale Bozzio.

    R.... o....

    Reminds me of driving through San Diego lol. Seems like they would of been part of the early 80s punk scene in Los Angeles even though they were from Australia😳😳😳😳😳

  50. P.... M....

    They sexiest mouth of the 80s for sure!!!

  51. L.... L....

    So over-produced it makes Terry Bozzio sound like a drum machine.

  52. J.... H....

    Dale Bozzio is A great Voice & Legend

  53. J.... H....

    the original Legends :Missing Persons : Lady Gaga took that look

  54. P.... V....

    The summer after 8th grade i got to see them when they toured for this album. At that point, it was easily the greatest day of my existence. My friend and i were at the very front of the stage and they were phenomenal from start to finish. Seeing that guitar and drum set right before my eyes was just...😍

  55. S.... B....

    Dale's hair is Gorgon-like but in the best possible manner here.

  56. s.... g....

    My heart beats fast...Rock on Missing Persons!

  57. T.... R....

    Write out the words
    To this...outstanding
    Deep wisdom
    Life truism from rockers extraordinaire!!

  58. E.... ....

    46 people didn't give it all they can.

  59. 1.... ....

    How about all of you stop with the "lady" kaka comparisons.  Give Dale her credence alone.  All of you prove so much about yourselves who have to entertain the comparison world.This tune, "Give" wow if they could have kept stretching from this point somewhat outside the "commercial" sounds for radio.  This one is rich and shows fantastic talent all over the place.  Its all great, but man that bass is very hot on this tune.Dale, what a fascinating futuristic fantasy......................

  60. R.... M....

    What album was this taken from? Spring Session M or Rhyme And Reason? Your answer.

  61. j.... h....

    This video makes me want to go out and buy a Synth Drum kit.

  66. B.... R....

    I got this on a 7" vinyl single when it came out. Dale Bozzio was a hottie..

  67. A.... B....

    when my eyebrows do what I want. Thats gonna be my new look. 80s feels.

  68. C.... P....

    Terry Bozzio looks a tad like Punky Meadows in this. The irony

  69. e.... ....

    Monster musicianship and one of the great and chsrismstic lead singers ever

  70. G.... E....

    The new wave band that graduated from the Zappa School of Rock. And it shows - crazy looks and tight talent.

  71. e.... ....

    There are not enough superlatives to describe this band.

  72. I.... S....

    THEY made USE of THE 80's ECCENTRICITY trend, TO a 100%. WONDERFUL.

  73. C.... T....

    you people are ridiculous comparing this woman with Lady Gaga...

  74. b.... ....

    Patrick O'Hearn killing it!

  75. T.... W....

    syn-drums

  76. T.... W....

    nutcase hairdo but she's my one of my very very favorites no insult untended by the way I do like the hair just the same

  77. S.... M....

  78. F.... A....

    very few people like to give.

  79. C.... T....

    good memories and love terry!

  80. e.... d....

    the most obviously self consciously "new wave" band of the 80's

  81. B.... B....

    DALE BOZZIO got hers from WENDY O WILLIAMS. Glossier version of course.

    B.... B....

    Elaborate plz. I just looked up Wendy. WHAT WAS SHE ON WEARING THAT TAPE OUTFIT?! OwO I liked it! lol.

    B.... B....

    no doubt. THE PLASMATICS!!!!

  82. K.... S....

    Love this song

  83. M.... K....

    Warren's Missing Link Guitar.

  84. D.... R....

    LOVE this vid and song!!!!!

  85. C.... B....

    What a voice of Mrs. Bozzio. Step aside imitacions. And Mr. Terry Bozzio as genius as he was besides the members of UK. Thanks.

    C.... B....

    The Upper Points of Dales Lips do not match! And the black eyebrows were a little extreme, yet she was still one of the most 'original' looking stars of the era.

  86. C.... M....

    Lady Gaga stole everything from Dale Bozzio !

    C.... M....

    Gaga didn't steal Dales legs!!!!

    C.... M....

    Dale stole it all from Fee Waybill.

    C.... M....

    Gaga probably got inspired heavily by her. She might of wanted to be like her. Gaga is immensely talented. So if Dale ignited that fire that helped create Gaga than thats surely a compliment to Dale

    C.... M....

    @j dragoon Gaga is very talented, the aonga ahe chooses to record are mostly crap though.

    C.... M....

    Except the high caliber band.

  87. G.... J....

    not all at one time

  88. b.... ....

    Bass lines way passed anything played at the time(school of Mick Karn-Japan) ,Belew's guitar school of advanced, Terry's never equaled synth drums and Dale's perfect body of voice, and top pop production ; MP is a definite for a special place at the Rock Hall of Fame.

  89. N.... A....

    I miss high end tape decks and big watt meters.

  90. A.... T....

    Out of Missing Persons entire discography, this is their most artistic track. Every time I hear the interlude (Warren's guitar riff), it reminds me of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 (1983).

  91. B.... ....

    Wish I go wear those outfits.

  92. C.... S....

    entered Billboard March 17, 1984 ..reached #67

  93. R.... B....

    Timeless material, always loved the Bozzio's
    Neat shit that may linger for a while methinks~

    Danke' Bozzio's

  94. Z.... C....

    Bozzio's beats seem simple until you try and drum along. Especially in the song Slingshot from Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop album.

  95. B.... U....

    @LadyGaGa's muse > Dale Sexxio! #80s

  96. S.... A....

    Nice bass lines....

    S.... A....

    Band is tight.
