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 have to worry
Everyday is an up hill 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 to do
Don't give it up, you don't have to
Gotta do what you wanna to do, oh yeah

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

Don't worry if the sun don't shine
You've seen it before
You don't have to worry
Everyday is an up hill 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 to do

Don't give it up, you don't have to
Gotta do what you wanna to do, oh yeah




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