Bryan Adams/Chicane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't give it up
Don't worry if the sun don't shine
You've seen it before, you don't need to worry
Every day's an uphill climb, nothing has changed
Believe me when I tell ya

Don't give it up
Don't give it up

Don't give up, you know it's true
Gotta do what you wanna do
Don't give it up, you don't have to
Gotta do what you wanna do
Oh yeah

Don't give up, you know it's true
Gotta do what you wanna do

Don't worry if the sun don't shine
You've seen it before, you don't need to worry
Every day's an uphill climb, nothing has changed
Believe me when I tell ya

Don't give it up
Don't give up, you know it's true
Gotta do what you wanna do
Don't give it up, you don't have to
Gotta do what you wanna do
Oh yeah

Don't give up, you know it's true




Gotta do what you wanna do
Yeah yeah
