I've gotta stop kickin' myself around,
Swimmin' in a pool of pity.
I'm gonna pick myself up off the ground
And get back to the nitty gritty.
It's just one step, two steps,
And then I'm back on my way.
Sittin' around has just been gettin' me down
And that's why I just have to say . . .
I'm givin' up givin' up.
I'll never give up again!
I'm givin' up givin' up,
And hangin' on 'til the end.
And I'm givin' up givin' up.
I'll never give up again!
And I'm givin' up givin' up,
And hangin' on 'til the end.
I gotta keep working with what I got,
Wait until the clouds start breakin'.
Instead of sittin' and wishin' for a better lot
Than the one already in the makin'.
It's just one step, two steps,
Strength enough for today.
Workin' it out instead of frettin' about it's
Gonna help to keep me on my way
'Cause I'm givin' up givin' up,
I'll never give up again!
I'm givin' up givin' up
An hangin' on 'til the end.
Givin' up givin' up.
I'll never give up again!
Ooh, I'm givin' up givin' up,
And hangin' on 'til the end.
When it gets too hard to take it,
And I don't think I can make it any longer,
That's when I decide I'm gonna take another stride
And ask the Lord to give me the strength to go on
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh, give it up!
I'll never give up again!
I say ah (scat singing)
Well, I'm givin' up on givin' up
Woh!
Well, I know it's so sound, it's so simple,
But it's up to me, yeah!
I'm givin' up givin up!
'Cause I know when I do,
You're gonna see me through it again!
I'm gonna pick myself up,
Woh!
'Cause I'm givin' up givin' up,
Oooh!
It's just one step, two steps
'Cause I'm givin' up givin up!
And I'm back on my way again!
All I gotta do is give it up, give it up,
Just one step,
Try another step
And then another step
Ooh, I'm on my way!
Yeah!
And I'm stoppin' kickin' myself around!
Yeah, I'm gonna pick myself up off the ground
I'm gonna give up, na na!
I'm not really givin' up,
I'm just givin up
Sing it boys!
