Don't Give Up
Double Trouble Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love, love won't give up on me
I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love, love ain't gone 'n' give up on me
Every tear that I've cried, only washed away the fear inside
Now I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love

Every beat of my heart, pounds with joy and not with pain
Every beat of my heart, pounds with joy and not in vain
Although those are painful memories, only brought me to my knees

I was just given up on love

Little Johnny Taylor told us so long ago
What about the midnight cryin', whoa the cheatin' and lyin'
What about the price that will, oh surely be paid
Those that gave up on love, love will have it's day
I ain't givin' up on love

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love, love won't give up on me

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love, love won't give up on me
Every time I cry, love just won't let me be, won't set me free

Overall Meaning

The Double Trouble song "Don't Give Up" speaks about the power of love and the decision to not give up on it, even in the face of pain and heartbreak. The lyrics emphasize the importance of persevering through difficult times and holding onto the hope and joy that love can bring. The opening lines of the chorus, "I ain't gone 'n' give up on love, love won't give up on me" express the singer's determination to keep loving despite any setbacks they may face. They believe that love is a force that cannot be defeated and will never abandon them.

The verses speak to the emotional toll that past heartbreak has taken on the singer but they refuse to let it defeat them. Instead, they choose to embrace the painful memories as lessons that brought them closer to love. The line "Little Johnny Taylor told us so long ago" is a reference to the 1971 blues song "Part Time Love" by Johnny Taylor which also speaks to the struggle to hold onto love. The lyrics of the song serve as a reminder that even though love can be difficult, those who persevere in it will ultimately be rewarded.
