You’ve Got to Give Me Room
They say each day holds something new
That couldn't be more true
I guess I'm speaking of the changes
I've been going through
This morning as I brushed my hair
A strange and new feeling huddled there
I'd suddenly become aware
You've got to give me room

I know how deep our love has been
Since we were very young
But now the walls are closing in
Those yester-years are gone
I know it's been hard for you
To understand my point of view
How can I make it clear to you
You got to give me room

I confess
I can't say that I don't love you
But this love I have for you grows weak not strong
If our case was ever put before a jury
I'm almost sure they'd find me in the wrong

You don't seem to get it clear these days
I'm more than a wife I am woman
Going through a phase
I've got to live my life
Before these precious years are through
There are some goals I must pursue
How can I make it clear to you
You got to give me room
You got to give me room
You got to give
Me room
