Haddaway (born Alexander Nestor Haddaway on January 9, 1965 in Trinidad) is a Eurodance/House musician. Born into a local family, his mother was a local nurse, and his father, a Dutch oceanographer. Haddaway's biggest hit, "What Is Love," became very popular across Europe (reaching #2 in the UK) and North America after its 1993 release. Haddaway did not have any other major hits in North America, although his debut album spawned four more European hit singles: "Life," "Mama's House", "I Miss You," and "Rock My Heart." His 1995 album included two minor hits, but his later releases went by largely unnoticed. "What Is Love" has been re-mixed and re-released dozens of times.

Give It Up Lyrics
Haddaway
All for money
Nothing for time
We want to go
That's our human tight
They sleep on the door mat
They roam the streets
We got to help them
For our future people
We all keep talking 'bout
Brotherly love
The rich stay clean
And the poor gets the glove
I can't sleep at night
When I see their ages
The young and the old
Give it up
If I could only show you love
Baby
Give it up
If I could show you how I feel
Give it up
Give it up
Well, mama was talking
About the ways
They used to live in the early days
Things were simple
And value was right
Everybody got a chance
To live or die
Today you've got it
Tomorrow you don't
But I want more
Give it up
If I could only show you love
Baby
Give it up
If I could show you how I feel
Give it up
Give it up
Love
Give it up
Show your love yeah
Show your lvoe
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it up
Give it up
If I could only show you love
Baby
Give it up
If I could show you how I feel
Give it up
Give it up
