Spice Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She used to be a chancer, sparkle in the rain
Told me she needed a friend
Is she going crazy? Baby's on the way
Seems like the day never ends
Everybody needs some affection (ah, ah, ah)
Wherever you're going
Never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Never give up on the good times
Livin' it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Bossa nova baby, heart is never sold
Shouting but he's never heard
Eyes are wide and open, the streets are paved with gold
Someone's gone back on their word
Everybody needs some affection (ah, ah, ah)
Never shy (never shy) gotta try (gotta try)
Wherever you're going
Never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Never give up on the good times
Livin' it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Down and dirty city, feeling outta place
Maybe you've ran outta time
He treats her like a lady, smile upon her face
Make up the last of the lines
Everybody needs some attention (ah, ah, ah)
Never shy (never shy) gotta try (gotta try)
Wherever you're going
Never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Never give up on the good times
Livin' it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up)
Never give up on the good times
Livin' it up is a state of mind
(Believe in the love that you find)
Hey now, look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said, hey now, look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said, hey now (never give up)
Look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said, hey now, look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said (never give up)
I said, never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Never give up on the good times
Livin' it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
Never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up)
Never give up on the good times
Livin' it up is a state of mind
Never give up on the good times
Gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up, no, never give it up, no)
The Spice Girls' hit song "Never Give Up on the Good Times" is an uplifting anthem that encourages listeners to persevere through difficult times and hold on to hope. The song opens with a description of a pregnant woman who seems to be struggling emotionally, but even in the face of uncertainty and fear, she never gives up hope. The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of believing in the power of love and the hope of good times ahead.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of loneliness, disappointment, and the ways in which we all need love and support to get through difficult times. The verses describe characters who are struggling to find their place in the world or who have been let down by those close to them. Yet despite these struggles, the song encourages listeners to keep moving forward and to never give up on the good times that they know are possible.
