Name this tune...please (male solo....mid 70s...don't give up...up to midempo)

Hi everybody. I'm going to call on the all the music experts of all backgronds to help me with this one.

-I belieive the song is from the seventies (best guess is mid seventies)

-It has a male lead vocal and for some reason I want to say it's a solo male artist. It's a pop rock song but kind of soulful.

-The artist t sounds a bit like is iElvis, from sort of the late 60s-early 70s. It's got a "Suspicious Minds" kind of feel but is slightly more upbeat.

-I'm not 100% sure of the lyrics and since I did the Google (I wouldn't have come here if I didn't try that), I must have them very wrong, but this is my guess for the chorus.

"Don't give up on love, why would you (don't you?) baby/

If you do, you'll drive me crazy........

[more chorus]"

Or possibly

"Don't give up on us, ----------baby/

If you do, you'll drive me crazy..."

It is NOT David Soul "Don't Give Up on Us, Baby". The tempo is much more upbeat and the singer sounds nothing like that. It might even be an R&B song. I have no idea. I just heard it on the radio on a classic station. Please help and thank you.

The song is likely called "Dont Pull Your Love" and performed by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds from 1970.
