Sometimes life is so doggone hard
Looking at things that I can't afford
Working two jobs, barely getting by
Keep me on the bus when I wanna fly

I won't give up
No, I won't give up
Can't keep me down
I've got my feet on the ground
I'm not giving up

Now I'm singing a different tune
No more thinking in the afternoon
They say the tough get going when the going gets tough
Don't tell me I'm not tough enough

I won't give up
No, I won't give up
Ain't no keeping me down
I've got my feet on the ground
I'm not giving up

I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up

I'll be feeling so sublime
Looking at the light at the end of the line
It ain't over till it's ovеr and it's the end
When that timе comes it's too late, my friend
I won't give up
No, I won't give up
Ain't no keeping it down
I've got my feet on the ground
I'm not giving up

Oh, I won't give up
