Give Him Up
Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo
Would it make you lose your mind,
Would it make you dream of how you'll scream
When I make love to you.
Would it amaze you if I found that spot
That no one else could find?
Girl if your ready tell me what you wanna do
Cause I'm not tryin' to pressure you.
HOOK
Not tryin' to pressure you,
But I gotta know
Girl if I put you in the mood please tell me so.
Seems like your ready girl, but I'm not sure
And I can't read your mind.
Let me know
I wanna satisfy,
In any way I can
Tell me how far I can go
Baby you've got to let me know.
Baby don't be scared
I'm tryin' to give you what you want and none of what you don't
So baby just relax your mind
Tell me how it feels to you
(please don't stop)
And if I disappear up under the sheets
You start to feel tingly
(don't worry baby it's just me)
Girl satisfaction is guaranteed
But you gotta tell me
BRIDGE
(Tell me if the time is right)
If you feel we've waited long enough
(Can we set it off tonight)
Tell me can we make love
Cause I've been waiting for this, for so long
Girl tell me if the feeling that you feel
Is just as strong
Can we get it on?

As a lead single, it showcased his ability to craft anthemic tracks that resonated with a broad audience, solidifying his status as a leading figure in contemporary R&B. The recording captures the polished production style characteristic of mid-2000s pop-R&B, featuring layered harmonies and a driving beat that became a staple in radio rotation. It remains a key song in his discography, reflecting the era's sound and his evolving artistic identity before his subsequent solo ventures.
