*** verse: 1
Weve known her ever since she was a kid
She was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes
Her parents never minded what she did
She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face
But past a certain point she stayed behind
The two of us could never read her mind
The million ways she had of killing time

*** chorus:
So we just gave up
Yeah we just gave up
cause sometimes, you know
Theres limits to love

*** verse 2:
Wed get impatient with her now and then
Oh, shed smile and say, `now youre not being nice
I guess her definition of a friend
Was someone long on love, and short on advice
We gave her money but the moneys bad
She took the dollars and just tore them in half
We got so angry, we just had to laugh

*** chorus:
But we still gave up
Yeah we still gave up
cause sometimes, you know
Theres limits to love


** verse 3:
Shell get in trouble but she will scrape through
Oh, shes the kind of girl who can always find help
Id say shes stupid, but itd be untrue
Oh, youve got to be smart if youre fooling yourself
We tried to love her, but our love unwound
(so our love was weak)
We talked about her when she wasnt around
(so our talk was cheap)
And still we felt that we were letting her down

*** chorus:
cause we just gave up
Yeah we just gave up
cause sometimes, you know
Theres limits to love

Sometimes you know
Theres limits to love
