Don't give it up    Don't you ever say we're through    Don't' give it up    It will all come back to you    You may think you have lost your man    Maybe he don't understand, he needs you    He'll come back to you       Don't give it up    Don't you ever pull apart    Don't give it up    Never stay down on the rug    You may think that God himself    Has put you permanently on the shelf    Just believe, believe in what you do       CHORUS    Cause there's a time for fighting    There's a time for comprimising    Time for running, time for realizing    Sometimes we all have to choose    Oh well it's nice to win    But sometimes we have to loose       Don't give it up    Don't you ever lay down and die, don't give it up    Jump back and give it one more try    You may think that you have reached the end    And lost all of your good time friends    But the real ones they'll come back to you       REPEAT CHORUS       Don't give it up    Don't give it up    Don't give it up    Don't give it up    Don't you ever give in
