Dont Give Up On Me Baby

"Don't Give Up on Me, Baby" is an Emily Saliers song, which was

probably written in 1986. They performed it live for WRFG's "What

the Folk" radio show in that year, and that performance was later

released on the 1987 album "Don't Eat Out of Dented Cans." It's a

cute little song, which reminds me a lot of "Crazy Game." In fact,

Emily plays the sole guitar part on this song, too.

Don't Give Up on Me, Baby

Don't, don't give up on me, baby

Though we've seen shaky times

There's still solid ground to be found

I said, don't, don't give up on me, baby

Though I may seem strong

It's only because you're around.

You know me better than I do

You know how things go to my head

I said a few things to you

Things that were better left unsaid



But don't, don't give up on me, baby

'Cause you know I love you, and I always, always will.

Now, love, love's a sweet kind of pain

It can give you wings to fly

Then it drags you on down

But, darling, I'll never love this way again, no

You're the sweetest, sweetest, sweetest love

I've ever found.

You know me better than I do

You know how things go to my head

I said a few things to you

Things that were better left unsaid

But don't, don't give up on me, baby, no

'Cause I love you, and I always, I always will.
