The fourth track off of Street Choir's debut EP "Now".
lyrics
Verse 1:
Well I know that you hate all the time I'm not home
And you're tired of being alone
We're both sick of talking on this phone oh
But you keep stressing me out and say that you'll leave
I don't know how you got so naive
How do you think we keep off the street oh
Is it so hard for you to spend time on your own?
When you know that evetually im coming home
Still I hope that you figure out some way to cope
Cause I won't give it up just so that you won't go oh
Chorus:
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't give it up
Verse 2:
You keep saying you don't think I care
Like my absence is somehow unfair
But it's not as if you weren't prepared or didn't know oh
I don't know what you want me to say
It's the only thing keeping me sane
Don't you dare tell me I need to change because i won't oh
Chorus:
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't give it up
Verse 3:
Now we used to smile and cry and frown when we was down
And we would grin and laugh but now that attitude I can't stand
You wash, you cook, you clean, starch and press my jeans
But walk around the house all mean
Oh what am I suppose to do with you? I know our love is true
So I continue to the next venue and put up with your fuss
There's no need to scream and cuss
It's not just you and I, I grind just for us
So let's get our love back, our zodiacs match
We're made to interact and no I'm not having that lack to communicate
Let's set the record straight and treat every day as if it was our first date
I can't stay away, you know this music is my soul mate
Thin lines crack and break when being forced with love and hate
Your smile radiates yet it's seldom seen, what happened to my queen
I thought we were the perfect team, this music is my dream
Chorus:
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't give it up
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't give it up
