Give Out But Don't Give Up

(Terry Woodford, Clayton Ivey, Barbara Wyrick)



Just keep your head above water

You gotta work yourself to death

And you ask yourself, "Why Bother?"

'Cause you never seem to get ahead

But don't feel like a lone ranger

As the same every lying

Things won't get any better

Unless we keep on trying



'Cause it's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out (sometimes) sometimes

Don't ever give up (don't you ever give up)

Oh, oh, oh, it's alright (it's alright)

Hey, to give out sometimes

Don't ever give up



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whoa, whoa ooh



Sometimes things can happen

That's beyond all your control

One thing after another

You go deeper in the hole (do, do, do, do, do)

Nothing ever comes easy

Giving up won't get you out

Face your problems head on

Keep believing in yourself



'Cause it's alright (it's alright)

Hey, to give out (sometimes) sometimes

Don't you ever give up (don't you ever give up)

Whoa, ohh, it's alright (it's alright)

Oh, to give out sometimes

Don't ever give up



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah----



Ohhhhhhh, oh ohh, it's alright (it's alright)

Hey, to give out (sometimes) sometimes

Don't you ever give up (don't you ever give up)

Oh, oh, oh, it's alright (it's alright)

Hey, to give out sometimes

Don't you ever give up (da da da da, da da da da da)

Mmm, it's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out (sometimes) sometimes

Don't ever give up (got to get it together)

No, oh oh, it's alright (it's alright)

Hey, to give out sometimes

Don't ever give up (got to get it together)

No, no, no, it's alright
