Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love
John Mayer · Other Songs - John Mayer
Love ain't gone n' give up on me
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 fears inside
And I just ain't gone n' give up on love
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and in pain
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and in vain
And all those painful memories
Only brought me to my knees
I was just givin' up on love
Little Johnny Taylor told me so, so long ago
What about the midnight cryin', whoa that cheatin' and lyin'?
What about the price that will, oh surely be paid?
All those that gave up on love, love will surely have it's day
If it is gone n' give up on love
I ain't gone n' give up on love
Let love ain't gone n' give up on me
I ain't gone n' give up on love
Let love ain't gone n' give up on me
Every time I try
Good lord, love just won't let, let, let me, me
