Gave Up Givin’ Up Lyrics by Ratt

Ratt

1999

I said listen up
I got 1 thing to say
I ain't givin up
Ain't that strange
Did you expect me to just lie down and die
Gonna live it up
Look into these eyes

Did you think I'd get a second chance
Yea I can't ever give it up you know me

Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up, yeah

You gotta give it up
Leave your name and address
Gonna send it up
I won't take less
I wouldn't trade this for anything
Without pleasure there ain't no pain

I ain't no victim of circumstance
Yea I can't ever give it up you know me

Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Oh yeah, yeah

I can never seem to get enough
You know me

Aw yeah

[solo]

Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Just give it up
Gave up givin up
Can't get enough
