	Story Behind the Song "Don't Give It Away" was written to counter the images and ideas about sex that today's youth get from the entertainment industry. Instead of giving a glamorized view about a promiscuous lifestyle, this song was written to let teens know "the real deal" about getting involved in sexual relationships before marriage, including emotional pain and the risk of contracting an STD and/or getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant. Lyrics Now I ain't mad at you, but I'm saying that it was never meant to/Be this way, but then we made it into just another game/We play, not realizing the implications/So many fool around while they're young, instead of waiting/Till they find true love, signified by matrimony/So many being hurt because somebody left them lonely/Still we never do learn: we only move to the next/It's a lie, cause love and happiness can never be defined by sex...........(chorus) Don't you give it away/Might not mean that much today/But you'll be looking back one day
