Me and Billy, were a couple of kids
Nobody knew about the things that we did
Sharing our toys and riding our bikes
We thought it would last for the rest of our lives

But we gave it all up, we gave it all up
We gave it all up for school

Then my family had to move out of town
Made some new friends and started hangin' around
Started stealing like the rest of the guys
My friend got caught, I saw the fears in his eyes

So I gave it all up, I gave it all up
I gave it all up for love

She was eighteen and I topped her by one
She said she's heard about the bad things I've done
But she loved me and she just didn't care
But one night she needed me and I wasn't there

So she gave me right up, she gave me right up
(Gave me right up, gave me right up)
She gave me right up for love

As I look back and wonder
Have I wasted my time?
Will I ever learn the meaning of life?
Will I learn it in time?

So I sit here with a couple of beers
Wondering how I've lasted all of these years
You're beside me and it's feeling so right
How I'd like to thank you for the rest of my life

'Cause I gave it all up, I gave it all up
(Gave it all up, gave it all up)
I gave it all up for you

Gave it all up, I gave it all up
I gave it all up for you
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
Gave it all up for you
(All for you, gave it all up for you)

So I gave it all up for you
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
Gave it all up for you
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
So I gave it all up for you
(All for you, gave it all up for you)
