You're my only institution
If I had to purchase something
I would buy you every time
Don't it make you feel much better?
Don't it make you feel brand new?
Years of nothing have subsided
We have fixed each other up.
Never give up believing in us
Giving you up? Now why would I do a thing like that?
No I'm not giving you up, no way
I will never stop when it comes to you.
You're my winning category
You're my prized certificate
German measles, mumps and whooping cough
Won't denigrate what we've got
When I'm in my darkest hour
Head upon the concrete floor
It is you that picks me up
And makes me well again
Giving you up? What are you on about?
Never give up believing in us
Giving you up? Now why would I do a thing like that?
No I'm not giving you up, no way
I will never stop when it comes to you.
Hit me hard, I don't care, you can use me anywhere
You can rip, you can tear, just take the very best of me
I am here for you when you need to undo
All the weight on top of you, just take the very best of me
We'll keep on running, we'll be free
On our anniversary, on our anniversary
Through the good, through the bad, through the happy and the sad
I won't give you up.
Giving you up? What are you on about?
Never give up believing in us
Giving you up? Now why would I do a thing like that?
No I'm not giving you up, no way
I will never stop when it comes to you.
No I'm not giving you up, no way
I will never stop when it comes to you.
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
