Phoenix Music International is pleased to present a brand new music video for Hairy Diamond's 2000 hit, 'Givin Up', to celebrate the song's 20th anniversary. This song famously samples the 1969 funk and soul classic, 'Giving Up' by The Ad Libs. It also samples 'The Mixed Up Cup' by Clyde McPhatter.

'Givin Up' was originally released in 2000 on Gut Records and broke the Top 100 in the UK Singles chart in November 2000. The single includes a 'Radio Edit' and remixes from Supakings, Scanty Sandwich, Head Cleaner and Royal Appointment.

LYRICS:

Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone

Oh lord it's hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use

Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone

Giving up

Oh lord it's hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use

Giving up
Giving up
Giving up
Giving up

It's so hard

Giving up

Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone

Oh lord it's hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use

Giving up is hard to do
When you

Oh lord it's hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use

Giving up
Giving up
Giving up
Giving up

It's so hard

Giving up
