Give Out, But Don't Give Up - The Supremes

(Terry Woodword, Clayton Ivey, Barbara Wyrick)

Keep your head above water

Gotta work yourself to death

So you ask yourself, "Why bother?"

'Cause you never seem to get ahead

Don't feel like a lone ranger

As the same every lying

Things won't get any better

Unless we keep on trying

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes but

Don't ever give up (don't you ever give up)

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes

Don't ever give up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whoa, whoa ooh

Sometimes things can happen

That's beyond your control

One thing after another

You go deeper in the hole (do do do do do)

Nothing ever comes easy

Giving up won't get you out

Face your problems head on

Keep believing in yourself

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes but

Don't ever give up (don't you ever give up)

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes

Don't ever give up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah----

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes but

Don't ever give up (don't you ever give up)

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes

Don't ever give up

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes but

Don't ever give up (got to give it together)

It's alright (it's alright, ooh ooh)

To give out sometimes

Don't ever give up (got to get it together)
