[Intro cee-lo]

Oh, ahhhh [repeat 4x, then in background through intro]

Give, give, give it away now

Give, give, give it away nowwwwwwwww

Give it away nowwwwwwwww

I, I, I

[Cee-lo]

I don't know what matters to you at this moment

But that's all that matters to me

How are you? (how are you?)

Knock on wood

Well I'm not doin so good

(I bet you pro-ba-bly couldn't tell)

(I'm not yet with it, I'm still not well)

And I don't understand how I'm so understandin

I guess that that's all I can be

How are you? (how are you?)

I think I can help

But I can't help myself

(Shouldn't I be happy? you need my help)

(I usually just talk, to myself)

[Chorus]

Oh can't you see, oh can't you see

If I help somebody, baby there's mercy for me (eeeeeeeeee)

Ahhh charity~! (and you, for you)

(One, for you, and you, and you)

[Cee-lo]

Now all apologies baby but I'm bleedin too

Are you needin me like I'm needin you

Even my shadow leaves me all alone at night

Guess I need to start to take my own advice

(La la la la lah, la la la-lahhhh)

(La la la la lah, la la la-lahhhh)

[Chorus]

Oh can't you see, oh can't you see

Somebody's a liar who ever set free what was free (eeeeeeeeee)

Ahhh charity~!

[Interlude]

Oh, ahhhh [repeat 4x, then in background through interlude]

Give, give, give it away now

Give, give, give it away nowwwwwwwww

Give it away nowwwwwwwww

[Cee-lo]

Give it away now

Whooooo! alright

Yeahhhhhhh

I want to be your baby

Charity!! you better give it to somebody
