Why do so many people
Give up so soon ...
I don't know why ...
I just know, oh I ...
Never could ... No ...

I can't give it up ...
Don't you give it up ...
Don't you let it die in vain, now don't you be that way,
Don't give it up ...
Don't you give it up ...
Don't you let it die in vain, now don't throw our love away.

Danny had a girl, he gave her all of his heart,
Love at first sight, you knew it from the start,
But she took what he had ... threw it all away,
As he was picking up the pieces, you could hear him saying:

"You're giving up ...
Ooh, don't you give it up ...
Don't you let it die in vain, now don't you be that way,
Don't give it up ...
Don't you give it up ...
Don't you let it die in vain, now don't throw our love away."

It's just too easy,
To turn away.
You're looking for reasons,
Causing pain.
Why don't you hold on,
To the love we made ...

Ooh, give it up ...
Yeah, don't you give it up ...
Don't you let it die in vain, now don't you be that way,
Don't give it up ...
Don't you give it up ...
Don't you let it die in vain, now don't throw our love away.
