I WON'T GIVE YOU UP
Words & Music by
Verse 1
YOU TOLD ME ALL ABOUT HER,
AND THE TEARS RAN DOWN YOUR FACE,
THE PAIN OF MY HEART BREAKIN’,
TIME MAY NOT ERASE,
AND NOW SHE’S SPREADIN’ STORIES
AROUND OUR LITTLE TOWN,
BUT I WON'T GIVE YOU UP
EVEN THOUGH YOU LET ME DOWN,
Chorus
MY LOVE DIDN’T END
WHEN YOU BROKE MY HEART THAT DAY,
I’D SWALLOW MY PRIDE
BEFORE I’D SEND YOU AWAY,
MY HEART MAY BE STANDIN’
UPON SOME SHAKY GROUND,
BUT I WON'T GIVE YOU UP
EVEN THOUGH YOU LET ME DOWN,
Verse 2
YOU HELD ME IN YOUR ARMS
AS YOU WIPED MY TEARS AWAY,
YOU SAID YOU NEVER MEANT
TO BREAK MY TRUST THIS WAY,
WELL, MAYBE IT’S CRAZY
TO STILL WANT YOU AROUND,
BUT I WON'T GIVE YOU UP
EVEN THOUGH YOU LET ME DOWN,
Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
I HAD A CHOICE TO MAKE
WHEN YOU ASKED FOR ONE MORE CHANCE,
SOMETIMES WE MUST FORGIVE,
AND NOT TAKE A CHANCE,
SO LET THE RUMORS FLOW
AROUND THIS LITTLE TOWN,
‘CAUSE I WON'T GIVE YOU UP
EVEN THOUGH YOU LET ME DOWN,
Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
