Givin’ Up, Givin’ Up
I've gotta stop kickin' myself around
Swimmin' in a pool of pity
I'm gonna pick myself up off the ground
And get back to the nitty gritty
It's just one step, two steps
And then I'm back on my way
Sittin' around has just been gettin' me down
And that's why I just have to say . .
I'm givin' up givin' up
I'll never give up again!
I'm givin' up givin' up
And hangin' on 'til the end
And I'm givin' up givin' up
I'll never give up again!
And I'm givin' up givin' up
And hangin' on 'til the end
I gotta keep working with what I got
Wait until the clouds start breakin'
Instead of sittin' and wishin' for a better lot
Than the one already in the makin'
It's just one step, two steps
Strength enough for today
Workin' it out instead of frettin' about it's
Gonna help to keep me on my way
'Cause I'm givin' up givin' up
I'll never give up again!
I'm givin' up givin' up
An hangin' on 'til the end
Givin' up givin' up
I'll never give up again!
Ooh, I'm givin' up givin' up
And hangin' on 'til the end
When it gets too hard to take it
And I don't think I can make it any longer
That's when I decide I'm gonna take another stride
And ask the Lord to give me the strength to go on
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh, give it up!
I'll never give up again!
I say ah (scat singing)
Well, I'm givin' up on givin' up
Woh!
Well, I know it's so sound, it's so simple
But it's up to me, yeah!
I'm givin' up givin up!
'Cause I know when I do
You're gonna see me through it again!
I'm gonna pick myself up
Woh!
'Cause I'm givin' up givin' up
Oooh!
It's just one step, two steps
'Cause I'm givin' up givin up!
And I'm back on my way again!
All I gotta do is give it up, give it up
Just one step
Try another step
And then another step
Ooh, I'm on my way!
Yeah!
And I'm stoppin' kickin' myself around!
Yeah, I'm gonna pick myself up off the ground
I'm gonna give up, na na!
I'm not really givin' up
I'm just givin up (more scat singing)
Sing it boys!
