Lyrics

[Intro]
Say it's all right
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry
I'm not really a salesperson, but
I care about this company, it's our family story
Ninety years ago, my great-grandmother invested her entire life's savings
Into my great-grandfather's dream
Her parents were furious, but she told them
[Refrain]
I'm giving it all up for love
I'm giving it all up for love
[Verse 2]
Half a century later, my grandfather made Stone Incorporated
The largest cardboard supplier in Wisconsin
But when his health began to falter, he called upon my dad
Who'd just been drafted to play baseball
In the forty-third round
By the Brewers, your favorite team
And what did you tell Grandpa?
[Refrain]
I'm giving it all up for love
I'm giving it all up for love
[Verse 3]
As for me, I could be climbing the corporate ladder in Chicago right now
But I gave that up to take my mom's old job
Because our family business has always been just that
A family
[Refrain]
They gave it all up for love
[Outro]
We'll treat your company as our own, Mr. Fjord
There's nothing we won't give up for you
At sixty cents a unit
Miss Stone, your story is touching, but I'm terribly sorry
I'd never pay more than fifty-two
Fifty-seven
Fifty-five
Fifty-six
Deal
